Critics Review
PRAISE FOR THIS BOOK
First Things “The Christian who simply wants to get a reliable handle on bioethics will find nothing better than this splendid little book… . It is seldom, and therefore all the more welcome, that one who is a master of his field takes the time to walk the nonspecialist through it. Meilaender does that without a hint of condescension, and with an easy style that will engage those who might otherwise be intimidated by his expertise. Highly recommended.”
Publishers Weekly “A thoughtful introduction to the ethical questions surrounding medical issues at the nexus of life and death.”
Booklist “Meilaender gives his reasoning, carefully worked out from Christian writings, for each of his major conclusions… . Concise and definite, his primer does its duty well.”
Journal of Christian Nursing “This pithy little book offers a vision and wisdom rarely found in volumes many times its size.”
Religion & Liberty “Insightful, readable, and very wise… . Deserve[s] inclusion in an undergraduate class in Christian ethics.”
