Reviews

"“There are innumerable books in bioethics, but none that take up issues of human anthropology in anything like the depth found in Jason T. Eberl’s The Nature of Human Persons.” —Christopher Kaczor, author of Abortion Rights: For and Against -- Christopher Kaczor, Loyola Marymount University ""Readers interested in a sophisticated application of Thomistic thought to contemporary ethics will find this an important book, especially because Eberl avoids the common pitfall of allowing his text to become bogged down in debates over the proper interpretation of Aquinas."" —Choice"


This book makes an original and significant contribution to the field. There are innumerable books in bioethics, but none that take up issues of human anthropology in anything like the depth found in Jason Eberl's The Nature of Human Persons. --Christopher Kaczor, Loyola Marymount University
