Description: This collection includes a wide range of contemporary theological essays dealing with medicine ethics, as well as some material from Scripture and from classical theologians. It contains the work of Catholics and Protestants, "liberals" and "evangelicals," as well as some contemporary essays not written by Christian theologians but of great importance for theological reflection. Together the essays provide a rich introduction to theological reflection on medical ethics and a convincing demonstration of the contribution theology can make to the consideration of issues in medical ethics.
