Critics Review
“Bioethics After God is a significant contribution to the field of bioethics literature today because of its call for a renewal of bioethics centered on an encounter with God. The book shows detailed and extensive research and engagement with the social sciences and a wide range of philosophical sources and has an expansive section of notes. Written for an educated popular audience, it might be particularly of interest to those working in health care.” - The National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly
“Mark Cherry’s Bioethics after God carries on the important project and legacy of H. Tristram Engelhardt Jr. of showing that the attempt to provide a universal foundation of ethics and bioethics outside the lived religious world of traditional Christianity is doomed to fail. Cherry is an invaluable voice for a view that needs both a hearing and a response.” - Christopher Tollefsen, co-author of The Way of Medicine
“This text was a joy to read. A number of its claims are not easy to grapple with, but they are well argued, clearly and politely presented, and should be taken seriously by those who are sympathetic and those who are opposed to the analysis.” - Bryan Pilkington, Seton Hall University
