Transhumanism
Transhumanism and Religion Bibliography. (Download)
ABSTRACT: This list contains articles and books dealing with transhumanism and religion. I have included only items published in academic journals or on other reputable or institutionally sponsored sites. Most of this literature is peer-reviewed. I have deliberately excluded items that deal with the ethical aspects of transhumanism from religious perspectives. I have focused on items that deal with theological topics or issues. Surely this list is incomplete in many ways - I look forward to learning about new items to be added!
