About the Book

Founded on in-depth biblical studies and perceptive theological perspective, James Thobaben's book has given us a comprehensive treatment of the myriad ethical issues involved in health care. He addresses topics such as

• the nature of evangelical faith
• understanding illness
• family caring
• the role of health-care providers
• institutional considerations
• ethical issues related to reproduction
• death and dying

Thobaben guides us into the realm of ethical discernment and decision-making by grasping the interconnections between health care in its various dimensions with the whole of true Christian living. If you are a student or pastor, or serving in the health-care professions, this monumental resource is for you.
