Sacredness of Human Life

The book offers a comprehensive exploration of the sacredness of human life, examining its biblical origins, theological developments, and historical instances. David Gushee argues for the importance of this concept as a vital legacy of biblical faith, highlighting the church's failures to uphold it. The discussion addresses contemporary ethical issues, including biotechnology, abortion, and human rights, making it a pivotal resource for understanding the implications of viewing life as sacred. Gushee's work sets a new standard for ethical discourse on this critical topic.
