Moral Medicine

Book was in great condition, has a wide variety of articles regarding particular issues in health care and different theological approaches to evaluating them. Fairly academic- not a light read.

A definitieve work for those interested in medical ethics.

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.
