This book gathers the reflections of seven of the nation's most significant moral theologians in the field of bioethics -- James M. Gustafson, Stanley Hauerwas, Stephen E. Lammers, Karen Lebacqz, Warren T. Reich, David H. Smith, and Allen Verhey. The outgrowth of The Institute of Religion's 1993 conference on ethics in medicine and technology, these essays and reports from working groups look back at the contributions of theology to bioethics in the past and set an agenda for theological reflection on bioethics in the future.
