"Christian Bioethics: A Guide for the Perplexed" explores the subject of Bioethics from a broad perspective - from issues in medical ethics, to questions surrounding our interaction with animals, trees and our planet, the Earth. The principal discussion centers upon life's main value. As a result, the book questions what level of respect is demanded by all other forms of life and of how human beings should care for the world as a whole.

Agneta Sutton answers such questions from both the Christian and strictly-theological point of view. As a consequence, the book explores topics with a superb blend of Christian insight and theological support or counter-argument.
