Publisher's Description
In the past several years our culture's long-standing prohibitions against suicide and euthanasia have been seriously challenged. A great tidal change in morality and law may be occurring as the courts seem to be creating a new right — the individual's right to die. Life's Living toward Dying responds to this challenge. Vigen Guroian discusses society's moral confusion over the meaning of death and gives a Christian alternative for care of the dying that is consistent with the strong value that the Christian church has ascribed to human life.

“This book reasserts the Christian tradition of a 'good death,' one that cannot include euthanasia or assisted suicide. Believers will be reminded of the richness of Christian teaching about dying and salvation; nonbelievers, of the dangers of disconnecting compassion from its roots in the Christian gospel of love.”
