Drawing on the findings of a series of empirical studies undertaken
with boards of directors and CEOs in the United States, this
groundbreaking book develops a new paradigm to provide a structured
analysis of ethical healthcare governance. Governance Ethics in
Healthcare Organizations begins by presenting a clear framework for
ethical analysis, designed around basic features of ethics - who we
are, how we function, and what we do - before discussing the
paradigm in relation to clinical, organizational and professional
ethics. It goes on to apply this framework in areas that are
pivotal for effective governance in healthcare: oversight
structures for trustees and executives, community benefit,
community health, patient care, patient safety and conflicted
collaborative arrangements. This book is an important read for all
those interested in healthcare management, corporate governance and
healthcare ethics, including academics, students and practitioners.

This book is a systematic study of religious morality in the works
of John Henry Newman (1801-1890). The work considers Newman’s
widely discussed views on conscience and assent, analyzing his
understanding of moral law and its relation to the development of
moral doctrine in Church tradition. By integrating
Newman’s religious epistemology and theological method, the
author explores the hermeneutics of the imagination in moral
decision-making: the imagination enables us to interpret complex
reality in a practical manner, to relate belief with action.Â
The analysis bridges philosophical and religious discourse,
discussing three related categories. The first deals with
Newman’s commitment to truth and holiness whereby he connects the
realm of doctrine with the realm of salvation. The second category
considers theoretical foundations of religious morality, and the
third category explores Newman’s hermeneutics of the imagination
to clarify his view of moral law, moral conscience, and Church
tradition as practical foundations of religious morality.Â
The author explains how secular reason in moral discernment can
elicit religious significance. As a result, Church tradition should
develop doctrine and foster holiness by being receptive to emerging
experiences and cultural change. John Henry Newman was a highly
controversial figure and his insightful writings continue to
challenge and influence scholarship today. This book is a
significant contribution to that scholarship and the analysis and
literature comprise a detailed research guide for graduates and
scholars.Â

The ongoing debate over abortion serves as a clear indication that
the Supreme Court decision of 1973 did little to settle the
question of abortion's legitimacy. If anything, in fact, the debate
has grown, with more strident voices and, in some cases, more
violent dimensions than ever before. On both sides, the debate has
been dominated by passionate but not always rational arguments. It
seems as thought there are no tame opinions about abortion in this
country, that public policy is the product of slogans, sound bites,
and placards, instead of principled argument. By presenting the
balanced, rational argument for the Catholic position on this
highly charged subject, Abortion and Public Policy makes a major
contribution to public policy discourse in our pluralistic society.
R. Randall Rainey, S.J., LL.M., is Senior Fellow at the Woodstock
Theological Center at Georgetown University. Gerard Magill Ph.D.,
is Chair of the Department of Health Care Ethics and Director of
the interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Health Care Ethics at Saint
Louis University.
Contemporary Catholic Health Care Ethics, Second Edition,
integrates theology, methodology, and practical application into a
detailed and practical examination of the bioethical issues that
confront students, scholars, and practitioners. Noted bioethicists
Gerard Magill, Henk ten Have, and David F. Kelly contribute diverse
backgrounds and experience that inform the richness of new material
covered in this second edition. The book is organized into three
sections: theology (basic issues underlying Catholic thought),
methodology (how Catholic theology approaches moral issues,
including birth control), and applications to current issues. New
chapters discuss controversial end-of-life issues such as forgoing
treatment, killing versus allowing patients to die, ways to handle
decisions for incompetent patients, advance directives, and
physician-assisted suicide. Unlike anthologies, the coherent text
offers a consistent method in order to provide students, scholars,
and practitioners with an understanding of ethical dilemmas as well
as concrete examples to assist in the difficult decisions they must
make on an everyday basis.
The Urgency of Climate Change addresses a pivotal challenge for the
sustainability of our planet. This topic was selected for the
inaugural conference in 2015 of an annual series on the Integrity
of Creation. The essays in this collection were selected in a
peer-reviewed manner and appeal to a general audience. The chapters
move from general to more specific points of view, with a
discussion at the end of each section addressing the global impact
of climate change.The first section sets the Context for the
discussion, explaining that the climate is an indispensable common
good. The part on Science emphasises that empirical reality must
guide any analysis of the climate as a matter of basic knowledge
and comprehension. A crucial implication is whether the climate is
sufficiently robust for the Earth to flourish for millennia ahead,
as discussed in the part on Sustainability. In turn, these sections
raise pivotal questions, regarding Ethics about social obligations
for the planet to flourish and regarding Religion to foster global
stewardship. Finally, this alignment of Ethics and Religion around
the problems related to Science and Sustainability leads to the
final section on Law that considers policy possibilities to
effectively engage Climate Change.
