"Interaction between Peter Singer and Christian ethics, to the extent that it has
happened at all, has been unproductive and often antagonistic. Singer sees himself
as leading a 'Copernican Revolution' against a sanctity of life ethic, while many
Christians associate his work with a 'culture of death.' Charles Camosy shows that
this polarized understanding of the two positions is a mistake. While their conclusions
about abortion and euthanasia may differ, there is surprising overlap in Christian
and Singerite arguments, and disagreements are interesting and fruitful. Furthermore,
it turns out that Christians and Singerites can even make common cause, for instance
in matters such as global poverty and the dignity of non-human animals. Peter Singer
and Christian ethics are far closer than almost anyone has imagined, and this book
is valuable to those who are interested in fresh thinking about the relationship between
religious and secular ethics"--
