Overview

Consistent, rational thinking about ends, motives, and means distinguishes ethical decisions that are "Christian" and "biblical" in Biblical Christian Ethics.

After examining what Scripture teaches about the goal and motive of the Christian life, the author addresses moral dilemmas, human-life issues, sexuality, economic justice, and truthfulness, as well as other issues including:

- Love reflected in the law
- Marriage and family
- Divorce and remarriage
- Appropriate approach to moral conflict

Synopsis

Ethics is approached as a study of a way of life that conforms to the will of God. Jones examines principles and casuistry in such matters as the sanctity of life, sexuality, economic justice, and truthfulness.
