Religion and Medical Ethics

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“As our secular and ethically pluralistic society looks for foundations for practical morality and as we probe the provocative social sphere of health care for ethical moorings and bearings, this volume helpfully scans the theological heritage. If medicine is ever again to become ministry rather than business, these sources of value must be recovered.”

Suffering

“A valuable contribution to the literature of theology and ethics, combining in a fascinating way biblical, theological, pastoral, and socioethical themes. . . The study is of immense value because it identifies the modern idolatry that views suffering as absurd and devoid of meaning. . . The book is a marvelous exercise in cultural self-analysis that is preliminary to any meaningful exorcism and redirection.”

The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Punishment

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Snyder has fashioned a masterful study out of his theological wisdom and his work in prison ministry. The contemporary scene of crime and punishment is illumined by Weber's analysis. A breakthrough text!”
