Mer om författaren

Professor Michael Marsh, formerly in academic medicine, read Theology at Oxford in retirement, followed by his thesis on OB/NDE (OUP, 2010). Since then he published on assisted dying; of being disabled; and arguing a theologically-based approach to abortion, much summarised in “On Being Human:” (JH Hunt: NY, 2016). His background permits unusually biologically-based approaches to philosophical and theological problems.
