- The author, a Church of England hospital chaplain, "has edited this controversial and hard-hitting collection of essays, which calls for a clearer understanding of the ethical issues, a deeper appreciation of the implication for modern theology, and a more sensitive response to all who suffer from the disease [of HIV/AIDS]. [This book] is intended as a helpful theological and pastoral resource for all who are affected by HIV/AIDS, whether as carers or sufferers. With that in mind, the ten main essays are interspersed with short reflections by men and women who have been diagnosed HIV positive, and who have been invited to speak for themselves about their personal struggle to live fully and creatively in the face of chaos and the prospect of death." -- back cover.
