Introduction to Biblical Ethics

Introduction to Biblical Ethics

Walking in the Way of Wisdom.

What should we do or not do? What attitudes, behavior and qualities are good?
Can we be good without God? What is the highest good, the purpose of human
existence? These are the questions the study of ethics seeks to answer.

Unlike many approaches to ethics, this book foundationally turns to Scripture,
going only as far as Scripture itself goes. The result is an overview of
biblical ethics that not only addresses the life of love and wisdom to be lived
out by Christians as virtuous individuals, but also as Christians in community,
in society and in a world of God?s creation.

Key preliminary considerations of love, law, sin and virtue are given their due
in this thoroughly revised and updated text. The bulk of the work is then
organized around the Ten Commandments and ethical themes springing from
them-loving God (commandments 1-4) and loving others (commandments 6-10).

This new edition includes added material on ethical alternatives such as
relativism, social contract, utilitarianism and evolutionary ethicsthe seven
deadly sins as well as the cardinal virtues vs. theological virtuesend-of-life
ethics, stem-cell research, animal rights, sexuality, genetics and technology,
and other bioethical issues such as plastic surgery and surrogate motherhood
technology and its depersonalizing effects as well as helping the poorthe
church?s engagement in society and how Christians can make a difference in the
media.

McQuilkin and Copan stay focused on how we are fulfilling the purposes of God
for our lives-a will that is for our good and our well-being. This
comprehensive study is the place to begin on the journey of living wisely,
faithfully and obediently.

Ethics without the Bible is a matter of cultural mores. The Bible without " ethics is a textual relic without life or relevance. This superb introduction
to biblical ethics brings the two together through the wisdom of two noted
evangelical thinkers and leaders. This book does not duck the tough issues but
presents them in the light of God's unfailing revelation in Jesus Christ and
the revelation of God in Holy Scripture. Highly recommended! - Timothy " George
