How To Do Christian Ethics - Living the Grammar of Christian Life Every Day

Discover how pressing contemporary moral issues can be approached and discussed in a distinct and coherently theological fashion. This book displays a more direct approach that has the distinct advantage of being approachable, dramatic, and contemporary. The reader is introduced to the grammar of Christian moral reasoning not by being informed about it, but by becoming familiarized with its intricate inner workings. By demonstrating ways in which a Christian believer or congregation can think through specific moral issues in a manner that is faithful to the gospel, the volume serves a church desiring to serve the world we live in and witness to God''s love in genuine and contextually truthful ways. Each chapter approaches its subject matter by demonstrating how the sources of Christian moral reasoning-Scripture and church doctrine-can be imaginatively brought to bear on contemporary moral perplexities. This mode of teaching shows in tangible ways how the Christian gospel does in fact reveal our moral world in clear and penetrating ways.
