Reading the Bible in the Strange World of Medicine

Science & Faith

“With his usual clarity, precision, superb scholarship, keen wisdom, and eloquence, Allen Verhey carefully demonstrates in this volume how Scripture can form and inform a Christian bioethics. Not only do his essays convincingly bridge the gap between Scripture and the 'strange world of medicine,' but they do so in a manner that is truly inspiring because they are born out of a love and a passion for 'the story Christians love to tell and long to live.' Anyone interested in the relevance of Scripture to a wide range of bioethical issues confronting medicine and society would do well to read this volume meditatively.”
