Topics
Duration: 7 days Topic 1: Worldview Foundations of Spirituality and Ethics
Description:
This topic introduces how the ethos of scientism and postmodernism has exacerbated the perceived philosophical and cultural tension between science and religion. To diminish that tension, the concepts of religious sensitivity and genuine care will be introduced to challenge the contemporary ethos to make room for genuine religious and ethical dialogue in the context of health care.
Objectives:
- Define the various meanings of “spirituality” and their relevance in the context of managed care.
- Describe the cultural, sociological, philosophical, and religious context of modern health care and medicine (i.e., pluralism, scientism, and postmodernism).
- Explain the concepts and elements that make up a worldview and their relation to religion and culture.
- Distinguish among values, morals, and ethics.

Duration: 7 days Topic 2: God, Humanity, and Human Dignity
Description:
While it has a been a perennial challenge for secularism to find a basis upon which to assign human beings’ intrinsic worth and dignity, the concept of human “dignity” and intrinsic value (including its implied ethical principles such as respect for persons, etc.) is inherent biblical teaching and Christian tradition. This topic reinforces how an appreciation and grasp of the concept of intrinsic human dignity is fundamental for understanding the contemporary religious context and the goals and virtues of practicing health care.
Objectives:
- Analyze contemporary philosophical and theological views regarding the nature of persons and their relation to the normative concept of “dignity.”
- Describe the cultural, sociological, philosophical, and religious context of modern health care and medicine (i.e., pluralism, scientism, and postmodernism.)
- Evaluate how the concept of intrinsic human dignity is applied in the process of ethical decision-making.

Duration: 7 days Topic 3: Biomedical Ethics in the Christian Narrative
Description:
This topic will introduce three main bioethical methodologies in light of the Judeo-Christian tradition, including principlism, virtue ethics and casuistry. The Biblical narrative is often summarized as the story of the Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration of human beings (more accurately this includes the entire created order). Concepts such as “sin” and “righteousness” and “shalom” provide a framework by which to understand the axiology within which “health” and “disease” are placed. Concepts such as “grace” and “redemption” begin to describe the explicitly Christian practice and goals of healthcare. This narrative will answer fundamental worldview questions for Christianity and provide a framework for students from which to draw Christian bioethical principles and approaches.
Objectives:
- Describe the approach of principlism to biomedical ethics.
- Describe the Christian biblical narrative that is the framework for all Christian reflection and practice.
- Describe Christian religious practices and morality (e.g., prayer, worship, scripture), based upon biblical teaching and Christian axiology, in relation to health care.
