Orthodox Christian Bioethics

Science & Faith

“The Orthodox perspective on bioethics set forth in this book reclaims the oft-invoked ‘phronema of the church’—a term too often spray-painted as golden veneer over sectarian distortions of theology and spirituality—and rejects the temptation to indulge in self-congratulatory exceptionalism and isolationism. By mining tradition for insights about the dignity and vulnerability of all humans, and the centrality of hospitality, Fr. Toumi makes a fruitful Orthodox contribution to global bioethics.”
