John & Lyn Breck Stages on Life's Way. Orthodox Thinking on Bioethics Translated from English by Geanina Filimon What do the Orthodox Christians think about bioethical matters? More than that, how do they reflect upon them? Having as their base the Bible and the Christian Tradition, Father John and Lynn Breck put before us valuable and unique perspectives over the moral dilemmas an the terrible ethical challenge caused by the recent revolution in medical care and technology. In this mutual effort, the Brecks offer us a theological, practical and pastoral understanding concerning some complex subjects: the using of embryonic stem cells, genetic therapy, the redefining the sexuality and marriage, the treatment of the addictive behavior and the care given towards the end of the life. Carrying us thorough the stages of life course, the authors show us how the life-giving, ancient wisdom of the Orthodox Church inspire and informs the contemporary life. Format: 13 x 20 cm, 280 p.
