Essential Christian Work on Bioethics

This is truly an essential resource for Christians on the prominent, important topic of bioethics.Here, Dr. Eyer provides Christian inputs in the difficult dillemmas which our advancing medical technology has created for us coupled with an ever increasing culture away from truth.He sets the stage so well for discussion for the individual bioethical topics of abortion, recreation, euthanasia, etc., by providing a brief history of ethics and bioethics, followed by what are two chapters which alone are worth the book and its read and usage: Law and Gospel Foundations For Ethics and The Meaning of Suffering.These two emphases are throughout the rest of the discussion and will resonate well with those driven by God's Word in the Bible. He provides additional resources for followup as well.Highly recommended. I am now using it in an Adult Bible Study on Bioethics.
