Brent Waters

Paperback 2009-09-01

Publisher Description

Although a proper concern for health is compatible with Christian faith, recent and anticipated advances in extending human longevity are often based on philosophical presuppositions and religious values that are adverse to core Christian beliefs and convictions In this solid text, theologian and ethicist Brent Waters reflects on the formation, practice, and meaning of the Christian moral life in light of selected bioethical issues.

He also examines the "posthuman project," exploring what it means to be human in light of denying mortality
