Von der hinteren Coverseite

What do we mean by virtue or character? Are there any moral absolutes? Do we have to do everything to fight death? Is it ever all right to say, "Halt - Stop the machines - I've had enough?" Why don't the Christian churches agree on the question of abortion? If a person is created homosexual by God or by nature, why is it considered wrong to act out sexually? If Jesus Christ is the "Prince of Peace", how can his followers in every age so easily justify war, breaking the commandment "Thou shall not kill?" This pastorally oriented guide gives the viewpoints of Roman Catholic and Protestant churches to these and other crucial questions.
