Media Reviews
Journal of the American Medical Association
This book is an outstanding resource for teaching medical ethics to students, residents, fellows, nurses, and allied health professionals, because its case studies can encourage much discussion and many questions. It can likewise be an exceedingly helpful resource in the training of clergy, especially in the context of clinical pastoral education. . . The book's content is excellent. . . Orr's approach is always even-handed. . . An exceptionally helpful book.
Stephen E. Lammers
coeditor of On Moral Medicine: Theological Perspectives in Medical Ethics
This is a splendid book. Orr not only gives us a sophisticated account of clinical ethics but also shows us how his account functions in many different types of real-life cases. A book to be consulted often by clergy, pastoral care departments, ethics committee members and, indeed, anyone involved in caring for the sick and their families.
John Swinton
author of Raging with Compassion: Pastoral Responses to the Problem of Evil
How do we make ethical decisions within a health-care context which are both faithful and compassionate? Robert Orr provides us with a vital map of the ethical terrain and guides us carefully and sensitively into the complex area of theology and health-care ethics. Deep, practical, and theologically informed, this book will be a blessing for clergy, health-care professionals, and all who have a genuine interest in exploring how and why we might consider including theology as a central aspect of our ethical decisions in the strange world that is medicine.
