What is it about?
What might a Christian Transhumanism or, better, a Transhumanist Christianity, look like? Might conscientious Christians today absorb transhumanist zeal and enhancement technology into holy goals of enriching the individual soul and transforming the social fabric? As stewards of human creativity, public theologians and cybertheologians are provided an opportunity by their transhumanist friends to contribute to wider human flourishing and global wellbeing. Yet, realism regarding original sin heightens the challenge to discern what is good while avoiding the pitfalls of messianic hubris.

Why is it important?
With religious transhumanism on the rise, we need to discern whether it is faith or technology that drives the new synthesis.
Perspectives
Although I appreciate the creative strides forward by Christian transhumanists, I'm cautious about idolatrizing technological progress.
