Course Description
As Christian experts on bioethical issues, Dr. Scott Rae and Scott Klusendorf provide listeners with the Biblical stances on current bioethical issues as well as step-by-step methods for defending them. Listeners will also be equipped to counsel others on the most difficult cases facing Christians in the arena of biotechnologies.
Advances in medical procedures, technologies, and drugs have made issues of life and death more and more complicated. As Christians, because we care deeply about life and death issues, we are often tagged as people who are standing against progress and the relief of suffering. Hence, we need help from experts to understand what is really going on in modern medicine and how to make a persuasive case in the public square for the Biblical views. Christian experts on bioethics, Dr. Scott Rae and Scott Klusendorf, help us understand and defend the biblical position on the most difficult subjects: abortion, euthanasia, reproductive technology, and more.
