Description

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.
