The Pilgrim Press is pleased to announce The Pilgrim Library of Ethics, a new series of books addressing the most significant moral issues of our time. Designed for both classroom and general use, each of the volumes will feature approximately thirty outstanding articles, essays, and official statements by foremost thinkers and institutions. Future titles in this series will include Capital Punishment, Welfare Policy, Genetics, Managed Care, and Sexuality.

The first volume in the series is ABORTION: A READER, edited by Lloyd Steffen. A wide range of contributions by foremost theologians, ethicists, and writers explore all angles of this volatile subject. Where do religious traditions stand on the issue? Is preserving and protecting life an absolute value? What is the proper place and function of religious, judicial, and legislative institutions in public policy decision-making? The well-reasoned and compassionate considerations of these questions will give readers significant resources for reflection and response.

Sections include The Language of Abortion: The Personal/The Public; Defining Statements: Religious Positions, including Roman Catholic, Protestant, Greek Orthodox, Jewish, Islamic, and Buddhist; Abortion and Faith: Moral Analysis in Christian Perspective; and Abortion and Society: justice, Law, and Public Policy, including the recent controversy over violence at abortion clinics.

For those who want an accessible, balanced presentation of the abortion debate, and who seek to formulate knowledgeable opinions of their own, ABORTION: A READER is essential reading.

LLOYD STEFFEN is associate professor of religious studies and university chaplain at Lehigh University. He is the author of Executing Justice: The Moral Meaning of the Death Penalty (Pilgrim Press).
