The Image of God, Personhood and the Embryoby Calum Mackellar (SCM Press, £35). The author, an expert on medical ethics and visiting professor in bioethics at St Mary’s University, has produced a scholarly argument in support of the Christian belief in the moral status of the human embryo as reflecting the image of God. With chapters ranging from “Being a Person from a Christian Perspective” to “Incarnation and the Embryo”, the author answers critics who think it is morally permissible to experiment on or destroy human embryos. His book should be read by all involved in the pro-life movement.
