Synopsis

Each day individuals make choices that have moral implications. Whether the choices concern major or minor issues, they involve questions that often confuse Christians. This practical book helps establish a basis for ethical decision making by providing principles and showing how those principles can be applied.

Dr. Weeks builds Part One of his book around the themes, "What shall I do? How do I choose? How shall I live? How shall I grow?" Through an examination of these questions, he offers a concise overview of Christian ethics as understood today. He then provides cases, practical examples that concern choices to be made about personal and family matters, congregational concerns, and community and professional issues. Ranging from the complex and controversial to the more personal and commonplace, they all challenge Christians to make informed ethical decisions. Succinct notes and questions, along with suggested resources for further reading, follow each case to enhance the book's value as a guide for group discussion.
