New Challenges For Christians

This is an accessible introduction to the public issues on which a Christian needs to take a view.??Theologians are involved in a wide variety of public committees concerned with ethical issues arising from modern science, and are still holding their own against critics such as Richard Dawkins.??It is important that a wide range of people are aware of how to be responsibly involved in these discussions, and to avoid the knee-jerk reactions of fundamentalists?

The complex and constantly evolving world of bioethics poses important questions for today's Christians. Since issues such as assisted dying and stem-cell research continue to hit headlines, it is important for Christians to be able to apply their values to the moral dilemmas emerging from modern science. Yet it can be difficult for Christians to know where they stand, as there are no easy answers. New Challenges for Christians will help readers to keep abreast of recent developments in medical and scientific research, and challenge them to think about and develop their own views. Part of the material was originally written for the Church Times, and this book has been fully updated. It will equip readers to navigate highly disputed territory and form opinions responsibly and with clarity and conviction.Read less
