Issues surrounding euthanasia and assisted dying continue to hit the headlines with strong feelings on both sides. In Is There a Christian Case for Assisted Dying? Paul Badham makes a significant and controversial contribution to this important and current debate.

‘Both believers and non-believers will benefit greatly from this consistently reasonable and compassionate account of the euthanasia debate.’
Mary Warnock, philosopher

‘Badham takes a specifically Christian approach and gives not an apologetic, but a constructive answer. I hope that this book will be intensively and honestly discussed.’
Hans Küng, Emeritus Professor of Ecumenical Theology, University of Tubingen

‘Although I do not agree with Professor Badham’s conclusion. . . his book is a serious and important contribution to a serious and important debate.’
The Revd Dr John Polkinghorne, KBE, FRS

‘The book is a triumph for liberal, relevant, compassionate, readable theology.’
Adrian Thatcher, Research Professor in Applied Theology, University of Exeter
