Christian Ethics by Ralph Wardlaw Pdf

Excerpt from Christian Ethics: Or Moral Philosophy on the Principles of Divine Revelation By some, the author fears, the Title of this work may be deemed presumptuous, and may possibly be censured, as holding out promises of more than it performs, and so of exciting expectations which it does not fulfil. He wishes it to be regarded as strictly and exclusively elementary, - having for its design to investigate and ascertain principles, not at all to unfold the details of duty, or furnish a practical commentary on the Commandments. Had not the Title, indeed, been formally announced in the opening of the first Lecture, he would now have been disposed to modify it to - Elements of Moral Philosophy, on the Principles of Divine Revelation. In forming an estimate, therefore, of his labours, the critic, he trusts, will bear in mind the avowed extent of their aim; and will not condemn, as a defect, the absence of that which they were never intended to supply. He will himself be satisfied, if, by those intelligent fellow-christians, whose approbation, next to that of his Divine Master, he is solicitous to obtain, he shall be thought to have at all succeeded even in his limited object, and so to have done any effectual service to the cause of Troth. There are two things which the Title presupposes or considers as assumed, - the existence of God, and the authority of the Scriptures as a revelation from Him.

Principles of Christian Morality by Hans Urs Von Balthasar Pdf

A collection of essays by three giants of twentieth-cenutry theology: Joseph Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI), Hans Urs von Balthasar, and Heinz Schurmann. Balthasar's and Schurmann's essays were written for the International Theological Commission. Schurmann examines how the New Testament's teaching provides enduring moral norms for Christian conduct. Balthasar presents nine basic principles of the Christian moral life. Ratzinger, who originally wrote this essay as a series of articles for L'Osservatore Romano, addresses the relationship between faith and morality, and the place of the Church's teaching authority with regard to moral issues.

Christian Ethics by Steve Wilkens Pdf

The field of Christian ethics is the subject of frequent conversation as Christians seek to understand how to live faithfully within a pluralistic society. The range of ethical systems and moral philosophies available can be confusing to people seeking clarity about what the different theories mean for everyday life. This Spectrum Multiview volume presents a dialogue between four main approaches to ethics in the Christian tradition. Virtue ethics focuses less on the action itself and more on the virtuous character of the moral agent. A divine command approach looks instead at whether an action has been commanded by God, in which case it is morally right. Natural law ethics argues for a universal, objective morality grounded in nature. Finally, prophetic ethics judges what is morally right in light of a biblical understanding of divine justice and shalom. The four views and their proponents are as follows: Brad J. Kallenberg: Virtue Ethics John Hare: Divine Command Ethics Claire Peterson: Natural Law Ethics Peter Heltzel: Prophetic Ethics Christian Ethics: Four Views, edited by noted ethicist Steve Wilkens, presents an accessible introduction to the key positions in Christian ethics today. Spectrum Multiview Books offer a range of viewpoints on contested topics within Christianity, giving contributors the opportunity to present their position and also respond to others in this dynamic publishing format.

God and Morality by Anne Jeffrey Pdf

This Element has two aims. The first is to discuss arguments philosophers have made about the difference God's existence might make to questions of general interest in metaethics. The second is to argue that it is a mistake to think we can get very far in answering these questions by assuming a thin conception of God, and to suggest that exploring the implications of thick theisms for metaethics would be more fruitful.

The Divine Imperative by Emil Brunner Pdf

One of the major works of the great German theologian Emil Brunner, The Divine Imperative deals with what we ought to do. People are unconvinced that there is an inviolable moral obligation governing human life because they do not believe that the 'good'can be precisely and clearly known. Haven't some generations called bad what others have called good? Aren't moral standards relative? Doesn't religion lack uniform and practical moral guidance? Brunner discusses the moral confusion we face. He analyses the nature of the Good, showing why the Christian faith as understood by the Protestant Reformers provides the only true approach and answer to the ethical problem. Philosophical ethics, whether ancient or modern, cannot correctly define the Good, becausethe Good is regarded either as too abstract and absolute or as too concrete and relative. Christianity, by contrast, sees the moral problem as one of responsibility between humans who are created so as to respond to God. He created men for responsive fellowship with Him, establishing orderly ways of acting in the world. Correct understanding of the nature of society, family, state, economic life, is needed to discern one's duty. Because Brunner's analysis is at once fundamental and comprehensive, this book remains a fresh and compelling treatment of the moral problem. It offers a provocative discussion and solution of a perennial human problem.
