Amid current arguments related to human life and dignity,
Christians must be clear about how their faith speaks to such
concerns and what other outlooks have to say. This book brings
together noted ethicists--Russell DiSilvestro, David P. Gushee, Amy
Laura Hall, John F. Kilner, Gilbert C. Meilaender, Scott B. Rae,
and Patrick T. Smith--to make a Christian case for human dignity.
It offers a robust critique of five influential alternative
positions, including the emerging outlook of transhumanism, showing
how a Christian view supports the crucial idea that people matter
in a way other views cannot.
