Christian Bioethics Journal

Christian Bioethics, published by Oxford University Press, includes articles on bioethics from an Orthodox Christian perspective by Orthodox Christian authors.

"Christian bioethics is a non-ecumenical, interdenominational journal, exploring the content-full commitments of the Christian faiths with regard to the meaning of human life, sexuality, suffering, illness, and death within the context of medicine and health care. Christian bioethics seeks not to gloss over the differences among the Christian faiths, but rather to underscore the content-full moral commitments that separate and give moral substance. It is interdenominational in involving editors and inviting contributions from different Christian perspectives."
