Perspectives on Science & Christian Faith

This is a solid attempt to write an unabashedly Christian medical ethics text, one that is scholarly and presents other points of view. Would that secular thinkers presented Christian views of medical ethics as well as Rae and Cox present the secular.

Editorials

Catholic Library World

Given the pluralistic world in which decisions must be made, this book offers to a Christian practitioner, client or family member reminders of the religious bases for thinking and deciding. The authors' documentation as well as their systematic approach to ethical decision-making provides a guide that is not only useful but also grounded in belief.

Christianity Today

Bioethics...builds a solid foundation upon which Christians can reliably stand while puzzling out the sometimes dizzying complexities of the new biotechnology..... Rae and Cox have done impressive work in showing that the biblical worldview can cogently speak to even the laboratories and operating rooms of the 21st century.

Expository Times

Warmly recommended as an excellent and readable contribution to the ongoing debate on the place of religion in current bioethics.

Issues in Law & Medicine

Valuable to medical practitioners, teachers, students, and general readers, this volume makes a stimulating and substantial contribution to a Christian bioethics that can effectively engage the pluralistic culture in which health care is now practiced.

Journal of Christian Nursing

Bioethics is well researched and provides excellent footnoting for those desiring to do further study on the issues or perspectives.... The book is a good resource for anyone in the health care arena who desires to strengthen their knowledge of bioethical issues and become equipped to articulate a Christian perspective on them in our pluralistic world.

Perspectives on Science & Christian Faith

This is a solid attempt to write an unabashedly Christian medical ethics text, one that is scholarly and presents other points of view. Would that secular thinkers presented Christian views of medical ethics as well as Rae and Cox present the secular.
