Four days of cutting-edge, eye-opening, and conversation-starting information on a topic that impacts our culture every single day. Help equip and inspire this generation with the truth!

Without Mercy: An Introduction to Euthanasia, Assisted Suicide, and Other Threats to the Medically Vulnerable examines the complex topics of euthanasia and assisted suicide and teaches students the reality behind what the culture of death advocates regarding end-of-life issues.

Using Church documents, the Catechism, and subject-matter experts, this four-class supplement provides students with a basic understanding of the Catholic Church’s teachings on euthanasia and gives students the tools they need to defend those teachings against current cultural attitudes and pro-euthanasia arguments.

Through discussion questions, case studies, real-life scenarios, essay questions, and small-group work, students will gain an understanding of euthanasia and assisted suicide and will learn how to articulate their beliefs so that they can stand up for those who are vulnerable or nearing the end of their lives.

They will learn the true meaning of terms such as “quality of life,” “death with dignity,” and “brain death” so that when they encounter them as they grow, they will be well equipped to combat pro-death arguments. In addition, they will learn the redemptive value of suffering and why we should use our suffering to unite with Christ on the cross. Without Mercy concludes with a case-study discussion that examines the sufferings of Brittany Maynard, Lauren Hill, Martin Pistorius, and Terri Schiavo.

Developed with the help of euthanasia experts:

Dr. Paul A. Byrneneonatologist, clinical professor of pediatrics, and past president of the Catholic Medical Association

William Beckmanretired executive director of the Illinois Right to Life Committee in Chicago

Julie Grimstad, president of the Healthcare Advocacy and Leadership Organization and executive director of Life Is Worth Living, Inc.

Bobby Schindler, president of the Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network

Jo Tolck, vice president of the Healthcare Advocacy and Leadership Organization

    Incredible Summary of each view
    Format: Kindle
    This is my favorite book in this series so far. Hoekema and Walvoord wrote incredibly well reasoned and Biblical summaries of their respective viewpoints. I was struck by how closely the more thoughtful theologians of each viewpoint really are to agreement. We often hear the less rational (and less Biblical) versions of viewpoints other than our own. It was nice to see much agreement with each other and with the witness of the Bible.

    Challenge your thinking on this subject
    Format: Paperback
    I found this book generally helpful. It was beneficial to me to think through how someone might arrive at a conclusion different from my own. That challenged me to think through the biblical support for my own view of sanctification. The introduction sets the stage well. All agree in certain aspects of sanctification, but disagree on others such as: how does one achieve success in sanctification? How much success is possible? Is a crisis experience following one's conversion normal - or necessary? If so, what kind of experience and how is it verified. Several definitions of terms become important in the book: sin, old/new man, perfection, Baptism of the Holy Spirit, and Entire sanctification. In terms how well the authors lay out a biblical case for their positions, I found myself convinced more by the Reformed and Dispensational perspectives. From best to worst, I might order it as follows: 1. Reformed 2. Dispensational 3. Pentecostal 4. Keswick 5. Wesleyan Overall, I found it refreshing that all of the authors maintained a respectful and gracious tone in their disagreement with one another. I would recommend this book as a helpful overview of this topic.

    Great comparison!
    Format: Paperback
    These five views are given in the words of their own proponents. Each view is then critiqued by the other four authors. These authors seem to be leaders in the denominations representing each position. This book is for the theological heavy-weight reader. It is desirable to the seminarian who knows the terminology and nuances of the theological standpoints. It does have devotional value in turning the reader to God.
