Much of the discussion, even in Christian contexts, on human flourishing and health is dominated by considerations of the immanent. This is often cast in the prevailing secular moral philosophies that have dominated the past 200 years, whether a Cartesian anthropology, Kantian dignity, or Rawlsian social justice. In part, this is due to a reluctance of an increasingly laicist society to hear explicitly religious considerations of the good. But far more dangerous, Christians have too often been concerned with and informed by the zeitgeist and not the acquisition of the Spirit. This presentation will focus on a collection of common bioethical concerns, explicitly end-of-life care, transplantation, and reproductive technologies, and show how considerations of the soul, of eschatological consequences, and of the transcendent radically shift the way in which we engage bioethics. Writings of the Church Fathers of the first 1000 years of Church history will be considered, especially St. Basil the Great, St. Gregory of Nazianzas, and St. John Chrysostom, as well as more contemporary scholars of traditional Christianity. Further, it will be argued that this is a far more Christian way of approaching bioethics. Instead of simply asking about the effectiveness of a procedure, we may ask how this will effect the patient’s spiritual walk. Instead of asking how long will this allow a patient to live, we may consider what makes the patient more of an icon of Christ. With these considerations we may come to confess that health and flourishing are only found in union with Christ and following Him in faith, under the healing ministry of the Church. Finally, the presentation will move beyond theory and make application to clinical cases.
