Christian Ethics and Moral Philosophy: An Introduction to Issues and Approaches

Christian Ethics and Moral Philosophy is an introductory textbook that presents Christian philosophical and theological approaches to ethics. Combining their expertise in philosophy and theology, Craig A. Boyd and Don Thorsen explain the beliefs, values, and practices of various Christian ethical viewpoints, addressing biblical teachings as well as traditional ethical theories that contribute to informed moral decision-making. Each chapter begins with Words to Watch and includes a relevant case study on a vexing ethical issue, such as caring for the environment, human sexuality, abortion, capital punishment, war, and euthanasia. End-of-chapter reflection questions, illustrations, and additional information tables are also included.
