On Moral Medicine: Theological Perspectives in Medical Ethics

Rating:
Summary: A definitieve work for those interested in medical ethics.
Review: This is an excellent book to be used as an advanced primer or survey of Christian theological
persepctives on ethics. From Barth to Raushenbusch to modern scholars, Protestant and Catholic, this book contains excellent essays and articles and even a prayer and Scripture exerpt or two. An excellent starting point for those interested in medical ethics--but VERY comprehensive; covers issues from patient-doctor relationships to health care distribution. I read it in an "Ethics and the Professions" course at Princeton Seminary.
