FORTHCOMING TITLE, ETA JULY 2024.
“My times are in thy hand.”
As more people accept the practice of physician-assisted death, Christians must decide whether to embrace or oppose it. Is it ethical for physicians to assist patients in hastening their own death? Should Christians who are facing death accept the offer of an assisted death?
In How Should We Then Die?, physician Ewan Goligher draws from general revelation and Scripture to persuade and equip Christians to oppose physician-assisted death. Proponents of euthanasia presume what it is like to be dead. But for Christians, death is not the end. Christ Jesus has destroyed death and brought life and immortality through the gospel.
160 pages.
Rarely has a book been needed as urgently as this one. Rarely has an author been better qualified to write it. I urge all Christians to prepare themselves to be able to provide a truly biblical response to one of the defining ethical issues of our day.
—Tim Challies, author of Seasons of Sorrow: The Pain of Loss and the Comfort of God
This is the kind of contribution to the debate that we need a great deal more of: a practicing physician who, having learned of life and death from his patients and his practice, has made use of widely read reflection to interpret them. The inherent contradictions of a practice based on despair appear with a clarity that perhaps no philosopher or theologian could give them.
—Oliver O’Donovan, professor emeritus of Christian ethics and practical theology, University of Edinburgh
