In this apostolic age, when Christians' moral beliefs are opposed to those of the dominant culture, we must be prepared to present a countercultural, Christian vision in science, health care, politics, and everyday life. In few places is this clearer than in bioethics, the conscience of our technological civilization. Unfortunately, most lay faithful feel ill-equipped to witness to the ethical teachings of Christ in the world as it is, and new depths of knowledge, grace, and courage will be required of them.In Contemporary Bioethics, nine interdisciplinary authors from medicine, law, theology, and philosophy empower readers to speak to contemporary issues from informed and reasoned positions grounded in the light of truth. Using these insights as a roadmap, readers with an interest in the pressing issues presented here can better witness to the moral and ethical teachings of Christ and the Church in the world through personal conversations, community involvement, and civil engagement.
