Moral Theology with Oliver O'Donovan

Jordan talks with Oliver O'Donovan about a range of issues related to moral theology. They cover topics like: What is moral theology? Has it fallen on hard times? Why might you suggest American evangelicals struggle with the concepts? What are the views on transhumanism and is there a distinctively Christian vision? What are your thoughts on genetic therapy/enhancement? What should we think about medical advancements like surrogacy and synthetic gametes & embryos? Are these ethical? Why was politics separated from theology? Should we seek to repair this divide? Is it moral to legislate morality? Does it end up corrupting morality and even theology itself if we seek to do so? How does political discourse that begins with the kingdom of God illumine topics of theology? And more!
