How To Do Christian Ethics cover

Introduces the reader to Christian ethics with practical illustrations and provides tools to use the gospel to approach pressing contemporary moral issues.

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. It introduces the reader to the grammar of Christian moral reasoning and expands upon its intricate inner workings.

By demonstrating ways in which a Christian believer or congregation can think through specific moral issues, the volume serves a church desiring to witness 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. The form of teaching practices here makes tangible the ways in which the Christian gospel clearly and even penetratingly illumines our contemporary moral contexts.

This volume is both theologically rich and ethically relevant for students of Christian ethics in the 21st century. By centering real-world moral problems rather than ethical theories, students will learn how to make sense of the contemporary world while centering the gospel. * Devan Stahl, Baylor University, USA *
Grounding themselves in the work of trailblazing thinkers such as Arendt, Bonhoeffer, and Hauerwas, the Protestant moral theologians represented in this volume take up issues that are pressing in the contemporary Western context--including incarceration, ecological distress, AI, cancel culture, healthcare, vegetarianism and euthanasia. A serious and significant contribution! * Matthew Levering, University of Saint Mary of the Lake, USA *
