Covenants With Death

Stenberg, M./Vaux, K.L. Covenants of Life Contemporary Medical Ethics in Light of the Thought of Paul Ramsey, SPRINGER NETHERLANDS, November 2010, Besorgungstitel - vorauss. Lieferzeit 3-5 Tage. ISBN: 9048161894
This volume captures a unique exchange between Paul Ramsey and his most prominent colleagues. In one sense it remains a Festschrift in his honor, characterized, at times, by a markedly informal tone. Yet, in the spirit of both the analytical rigor and the self-exposure that marked Ramsey's career, this volume is not simply a tribute to Ramsey's lifework but rather a vehicle for intense conversation and argument about issues of human birth, life, suffering, and death. The editors see it as a state of the art discussion that brings the best insights from Judeo-Christian thought into contact with wider and more public arenas of medical ethics. Of course, such a collection as this grants Ramsey the permission to have the last word. But this final word is entrusted to a mature and remarkably open mind, still sharpening its critical skills and risking exposure to new issues and voices.
