Resource Kits for International Libraries
Did you know that CBHD has provided library kits of Christian bioethics books and resources to university and seminary libraries and medical institutions around the world free of charge as part of our International Bioethics Scholars Program? Representing nearly the nearly 25 years of Christian bioethical reflection, resources include books and booklets produced by the Center, as well as several by our friends and close affiliates. With nearly two dozen kits sent to recipients on five continents over the past few years, the Center continues to seek ways to expand this initiative. To recommend an institution or request a kit for your institution, please contact Michael Sleasman at msleasman@cbhd.org.
