But as Nick Spencer''s Spidey saga reaches its climax, what is Kindred''s horrific endgame?

Could science one day ''defeat death''? What would alien contact mean for humanity? Has medicine finally found a cure for sadness? Will AI replace us? For too long, the ''science and religion'' debate has fixated on creation, evolution, cosmology, miracles and quantum theory. But this, argue Nick Spencer and Hannah Waite, is a mistake. Religious belief has survived, and thrived, under many different models of the universe. It was never intended to be a competing explanation for the science of any age. Where science and religion really do come together - sometimes furiously, sometimes fruitfully - is over the status and nature of the human. And that has never been more important than today. Whether it''s the quest for immortality or the search for alien life, the treatment of pandemics or ''animal personhood'', AI or mental health, abortion or genetic editing, science is making advances that are posing huge questions about what it means to be human, whether we should change ourselves, and how far we should ''play God''. These developments are only going to grow in significance. Playing God brings readers up to date with the latest developments but also draws out their moral and religious dimensions. In so doing, it shows how the future of science and religion is inextricably tied up with the future of humanity.

Few writers have put Peter Parker through the wringer quite like Nick Spencer! His epic and sprawling run begins with an alien invasion, a troublesome doppelganger and a shocking new roommate: the villainous Boomerang! And things only get wilder from there for Spider-Man as an old romance is rekindled, a new friendship forms... and J. Jonah Jameson causes a different kind of trouble as a fiercely pro-Spidey shock jock! Plus, who is the horrifying villain lurking in the shadows?

What has Christianity ever done for us? A lot more than you might think, as Nick Spencer reveals in this fresh exploration of our cultural origins. Looking at the big ideas that characterize the West, such as human dignity, the rule of law, human rights, science, and even, paradoxically, atheism and secularism,he traces the varied ways in which many of our present values grew up and flourished in distinctively Christian soil. Always alert to the tensions and mess of history, and careful not to overstate or misstate the Christian role in shaping our present values, Spencer shows us how a better awareness of what we owe to Christianity can help us as we face new cultural challenges.
