Product Description
by Snuffer Geisler
Murder is wrong---but what about war or capital punishment? What bearing does God's Word have on 21st-century debates like stem cell research? Based on sound biblical and philosophical reasoning, this practical introduction to Christian ethics challenges you to approach several issues of morality with an open mind, critical thinking, and your Bible.
192 pages, softcover from Crossway Books.
There are many books on the market that target certain ethical issues. What makes this book different is that it covers 19 different ethical categories, and it does so without being too brief. Each chapter feels like a book of its own. Geisler and Snuffer also write an extensive introduction covering the basis and true purpose of law and ethics. This serves as a great foundation to understanding the role of ethics in the life of the Christian and society.
A refreshing element of the book is the addition of several current issues that have been sorely lacking in intelligent discussion in the Christian community. Where else can you find a biblical view of civil disobedience, economic justice, ecological issues, stem-cell research, war and capital punishment that didn't sound like it was written by the Republican party? Geisler and Snuffer skillfully examine the issues and communicate truth seasoned with grace, mercy and compassion. Their views on these subjects alone make it a book that is unique for our times and should be required reading for anyone who understands the call to be culturally engaged.
An excellent book that hopefully opens the door for more discourse on some very timely and controversial topics. At the same, very challenging in how it can be applied to our personal lives and worldview.
