Bücher von Gilbert C. Meilaender

In Faith and Faithfulness Gilbert C. Meilaender suggests that Christians should not try to develop an autonomous ethic; neither, however, need they deny the common ground that exists with those who stand in other traditions. He then discusses human nature as creaturely, sinful, and justified--using these categories to think about such topics as the relation of humans to their environment, the meaning of personhood, and the meaning of original sin.

Working from within the contours of Christian faith, this book examines the relation between two ways of forming families - through nature (by procreation) and through history (by adoption). Gilbert Meilaender takes up a range of issues raised by the practice of adoption, always seeking to do justice to both nature and history in the formation of families.

This text examines how bioethics has developed over the last 25 years and reconsiders some of its central concepts and arguments. The author seeks to redirect bioethical discussion away from its current focus on public policy, back toward questions of metaphysical and religious significance.

This text proposes different ways of thinking about work. It explores many of the ways in which human beings have thought about the place of work in life - its meanings, its limits, and its relation to other obligations, to the life cycle, to play and to rest.
