Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia Debated
Edited by Michael M. Uhlmann
Posted: Wednesday, April 1, 1998
The issue of assisted suicide and euthanasia, so controversial in our own time, was hotly debated both in pagan antiquity and throughout the history of the church. This comprehensive collection of nearly three dozen essays and court cases opens with the editor�s perceptive survey of relevant classical, Christian, and early modern thought. Then writers ranging from Jack Kevorkian to Pope John Paul II, from Peter Singer to Leon Kass, from activists to Supreme Court justices, offer diverse moral, medical, and legal perspectives. A helpful introduction to each section guides readers through the debate. [Read More]

Faith or Fear
How Jews Can Survive in a Christian America
By Elliot Abrams
Posted: Sunday, June 1, 1997
In the midst of the greatest religious expansion in American history, Jews are a shrinking minority. Intermarriage is up, synagogue attendance is down, and Jewish education is flagging. Jewish leaders spend less time instructing the young in religious traditions than in promoting liberal causes and attacking conservative Christians. But as Elliott Abrams contends in this tightly argued, insightful polemic, it is not the Christian Right that most threatens Jews today, but rather their abandonment of Judaism. [Read More]

Christians and the Limits of Government
Edited by Michael Cromartie
Posted: Sunday, April 7, 1996
"Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's," said Jesus, "and to God the things that are God's." What does this mean in a time and place drastically different from first-century Palestine? As more and more Christians from differing traditions exercise power in the political arena, what theological principles should shape their views of the role of government? Protestant and Catholic scholars of diverse views debate these questions in Caesar's Coin Revisited. [Read More]

Ending Affirmative Action
The Case for Colorblind Justice
By Terry Eastland
Posted: Monday, April 1, 1996
In this essential book, Terry Eastland makes a compelling case that we must end affirmative action if we are to restore true fairness and justice in America. Racial preferences and set-asides have distorted what our country stands for, and we must return to the only standard that is in accord with our national ideals--the standard of colorblindness. Justice was ill served when whites were preferred, and it is no more equitable when minorities are. [Read More]
