As we prepare for our 30th annual conference – The Christian Stake in Bioethics Revisited, June 22-24, available in person and online – this podcast episode features another of the plenary addresses from the very first conference, The Christian Stake in Bioethics, in 1994.

Our speaker in this episode is the late Dr. Allen Verhey, and in this address, he takes a careful look at the concept of autonomy and compares it to Martin Luther’s Freedom of the Christian.

Dr. Allen Verhey was published widely and was the author, editor, or co-editor of 12 books.
