Description
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.
