Dr. Thobaben's book offers keen insight into the complex bioethical issues facing our culture and our church. His work adds richly to our conversations about healing, death and eternal life., In this book, Jim Thobaben offers even more than the title promises. This book is not just a comprehensive Christian resource on health-care ethics, but is instead a primer in theologicalanthropology that then leads to profound reflections on bioethics. The book is rich at every level--biblically, theologically, philosophically and ecclesiologically. Thobaben demonstrateswide reading, mastery of a great breadth of material and precision in argumentation. One does not have to agree with every argument made in this substantial book to appreciate its significance. With this book, Jim Thobaben has established himself as a major evangelical voice in theological bioethics., Dr. Jim Thobaben has done a masterful job of weaving together a tapestry of threads including ethical analysis, theology, biblical studies and moral practice. Health-Care Ethics has been written by a master teacher and practitioner resulting in a text that is not only engaging but pertinent to the lives of those who read it., In this book, Jim Thobaben offers even more than the title promises.

Thobaben demonstrates wide reading, mastery of a great breadth of material and precision in argumentation. One does not have to agree with every argument made in this substantial book to appreciate its significance. With this book, Jim Thobaben has established himself as a major evangelical voice in theological bioethics., The bioethics that James Thobaben insightfully presents here is both incarnational and missional--ideas commonly found in the church but rarely in bioethics. He helps the reader see what engaging various bioethical challenges looks like--not in some theoretical way far from the nitty-gritty of everyday private and professional life, but in the lived experience of evangelical believers committed to being personally and communally faithful to their God. He goes on to show that such incarnational faithfulness is not something that properly focuses only in-house, within the church, but necessarily reaches out to join with the wider human community in the task of learning and living what it means to be human. Many will begin reading this book simply because of the unusually wide range of bioethical issues it addresses. They will finish it not merely much better informed bioethically, but also inspired to put their deepest convictions and values to work on the great bioethical challenges of today and tomorrow., Jim Thobaben has provided a valuable resource for helping readers reflect on Scripture and think about the myriad moral dimensions of health carefrom the perspective of Christian faith. In a society where many of our definitions of 'good life' are mediated through biotechnologies and what wecan do, Thobaben helps us sort through options for more faithful responsibilities and responses in order to understand what we should do to embody the gospel of Christ and serve the holistic needs of humanity. This is a very timely book for classrooms and congregations given the importance of bioethics and in light of our current social debates., The bioethics that James Thobaben insightfully presents here is both incarnational and missional--ideas commonly found in the church but rarely in bioethics.
