God is willing to be condemned in the name of the law, to be rejected and abandoned by humanity, and to be abandoned even by God. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMurphy uses this theology of the cross as a perspective from which to read ecology, evolution, and bioethics. His view gives us new opportunities to understand the apparent absence of God in natural process, the role of death in evolution, and the ethical ambiguities \u003cbr\u003eraised by science-based technologies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeorge L. Murphy is the Pastoral Associate at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Akron, Ohio. A Templeton Fellow, he teaches theology and science at Trinity Lutheran Seminary in Columbus, Ohio.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George L.
