About his book titled Biotechnology, Bioethics, Biotheology, which was recently published, the Metropolitan of Nafpaktos and Agiou Vlasiou, Mr. Hierotheos, speaks to “Orthodox Truth” (2/2/26). In the book, in addition to the bioethical and biotheological issue, a brief update is given on the developments in the field of biotechnology and the problems that arise.
In the interview that follows, the Metropolitan of Nafpaktos refers, among other things, to the prospects for dialogue between the Church and Science, to the research work of scientists as well as to the searches of young people regarding Bioethics. He particularly emphasizes that “Orthodox Theology must go beyond humanistic Bioethics, which connects Humanism with the Enlightenment and globalization, and offer an Orthodox Biotheology.”
