Description
For students studying Christian Ethics, this study guide provides comprehensive coverage of key areas of ethical theory and methodology. It explores topics such as the use of the Bible in Christian ethics, natural law, conscience, and various philosophical approaches to ethics.
The book also delves into neglected methodological topics, including Christian ethics and science, Christian ethics and pastoral care, and the relationship between Christian ethics and wider public debates in ethics. Practical applications are introduced through case studies on issues like abortion, euthanasia, human genetic manipulation, and capital punishment.
