| Summary: | In this essay I describe some delightful surprises of Christian bioethics through the lenses of faith, hope, and love. I draw from insights about what makes Christian belief and practice distinctive from sources such as the early Christian document, The Epistle to Diognetus, G. K. Chesterton, and C. S. Lewis. I focus on the three theological virtues with a special eye for applications to contemporary bioethical issues and contemporary philosophical objections. Love is a distinctive center of Christian bioethics. Faith is a distinctive knowledge of Christian bioethics. Hope is a distinctive posture of Christian bioethics. |
