Independent intensities, 0–5 — what the work is made of, not how good it is.

A book on Christian medical ethics published by Presbyterian and Reformed in 1988, as its subtitle says organised around principles, persons and problems. It appeared while Frame was on the founding faculty of Westminster Seminary in California, some years after he had been principal author of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church's 1971 report on abortion, and it is his first book in ethics, before the fuller treatment of The Doctrine of the Christian Life (2008).
