Ministry on the Edge

Reflections of an Interfaith Pioneer, Civil Rights Advocate, and the First Bioethicist

Edición de la obra Ministry on the Edge

This book tells the story of Kenneth Vaux's career as theologian and minister - the first bio-ethicist, a civil rights advocate, and interfaith pioneer. Through a collection of essays, articles, and sermons, Vaux traces his prophetic assessment of important ethical issues from the perspective of theology and religion. He offers a deeper appreciation of the ethical implications of human and civil rights; medical and healthcare issues (such as abortion, stem-cell research, transplantation, death and dying); public policy; science and technology; war and interfaith conflict. Vaux's reflections are universal, exploring theology and ministry on the edge - the boundary between Godly and worldly, sacred and secular, evangelical and ethical - what Bonhoeffer called the boundaries of good and evil, truth and falsehood, hope and despair. - Publisher info.
