Treating the Body in Medicine and Religion (eBook, ePUB)

Jewish, Christian, and Islamic Perspectives
Redaktion: Fitzgerald, John J.; Moyse, Ashley John

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book asks whether the modern medical milieu has overly objectified the body, unwittingly or not, and whether current studies in bioethics are up to the task of restoring a fuller understanding of the human person. In response, various authors suggest that a more theological/religious approach would be helpful, or perhaps even necessary.
