Ethics and Experience - Moral Theory From Just War to Abortion

Informationen zum Autor Lloyd Steffen is professor of religious studies and university chaplain at Lehigh University, where he also is the director of the Center for Dialogue, Ethics, and Spirituality and director of the Lehigh Prison Project.
