This project proposes that 'sanctity of life,' often identified as a Christian moral principle with deep roots in the biblical and theological traditions, may actually represent an idolatrous tendency for Christian churches inconsistent with their traditional theocentric focus. Ancient Stoicism and eighteenth-century Enlightenment thought are the authentic sources of a notion of life as sacred; except for an isolated interlude involving John Calvin, Christian churches did not begin to adopt belief in sanctity of life until the late nineteenth century. The project affirms a more circumspect respect for life as the appropriate and faithful Christian stance on such controversial issues as abortion, euthanasia, and assisted suicide.
