<P>This book examines the sacredness of human life in a comprehensive, multifaceted way, encompassing biblical roots, theological elaborations, historical cases, and contemporary ethical perspectives. Tracing the concept from Scripture through church history to the present day, the author argues that viewing human life as sacred is one of the most precious legacies of biblical faith. </P> 
<P>Besides providing a masterful historical survey, the discussion covers the many current ethical challenges and perspectives that will impact the survival and flourishing of human life, including biotechnology, the death penalty, abortion, human rights, nuclear weapons, just war theory, women's rights, and creation care.</P>
