Book Endorsement: 'Mary and Bioethics: An Exploration' by Francis Etheredge

I was honoured to be asked to endorse Francis Etheredge’s book Mary and Bioethics: An Exploration (St. Louis, MO: En Route Books and Media, 2020).

My endorsement:

From a secular perspective, bioethics cannot be more disconnected from Mary; however, from that of the Catholic Christian, Mary is none other than the Mother of all the Living. In Mary and Bioethics, Francis Etheredge provides a well-researched and referenced interlace between Mariology and bioethics. Etheredge shows that bioethics lacking a Marian view, accepting life as a divine gift, is fundamentally ill-equipped to respond to human suffering genuinely and compassionately.

My endorsement features on the book's publisher webpage and on the back cover of the printed book.
