Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Does the Bible Teach about How to Live in Today's World? How should Christians live when the surrounding culture is increasingly hostile to Christian moral values? Granted, the Bible is our guide—but how can we know if we are interpreting it rightly with regard to ethical questions about wealth and poverty, marriage and divorce, birth control, abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality, ethical business practices, environmental stewardship, and dozens of other issues? And on a very practical level, how can we know God's will in the ordinary decisions of life? To address questions like these, Wayne Grudem, author of the bestselling book Systematic Theology, draws on 40 years of teaching classes in ethics to write this wide-ranging introduction to biblical moral reasoning, organized according to the structure of the Ten Commandments. He issues a challenging call for Christians to live lives of personal holiness and offers a vision of the Christian life that is full of joy and blessing through living each day in a way that is pleasing to God.

Download or read book Biblical Ethics written by James P. Eckman and published by Crossway Bibles. This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a difference between "ethics" and "morals." Morals reflect the changing whims of culture, but ethics don't change. For the Christian, ethics are rooted in the absolutes revealed in God's Word to inform and nurture our moral conduct. Followers of Christ must learn to evaluate their thoughts and actions biblically. James Eckman argues that, historically, Christians who hold to a set of ethical absolutes have related to their culture in one of three ways: separation, accommodation, or transformation. This book explores a synthesis of all three, viewed through the lens of Scripture, to formulate a strategy for engaging cultural issues today. Eckman examines critical ethical issues such as abortion, euthanasia, bioethics, human sexuality, politics, war, capital punishment, work, race, the arts, and the environment. He shapes an ethical response to each issue. This title is one in a series being published by Crossway Books in cooperation with Evangelical Training Association. ETA provides Christian education resources for individuals, leaders and teachers, churches, Bible institutes, and other adult educational settings. With short chapters and thought-provoking questions, this book is useful for both personal study and group learning. Book jacket.

Download or read book Bible and Ethics in the Christian Life written by Bruce C. Birch and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earth is changing in ways it hasn't for hundreds of thousands of years. At the same time, Christianity is breaking away from its millennium-long geographical and cultural center in the Euro-West. Its growth is in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, primarily in Pentecostal, evangelical, and independent churches. These dramatically changed planetary and ecclesial landscapes have led many to conclude that we need a new way of thinking about our collective existence: who are we and what is the nature of our responsibility in this deeply altered world? To address that question, biblical scholars Bruce C. Birch and Jacqueline E. Lapsley and Christian ethicists Larry L. Rasmussen and Cynthia Moe-Lobeda carry on "a new conversation" that engages how Christians are to understand the authority and use of Scripture, the basic elements of any full-bodied Christian ethic attuned to our circumstances, and the nature of our responsibility to our planetary neighbors and creation itself.

Download or read book Biblical Ethics and Social Change written by Stephen Mott Professor Emeritus of Social Ethics Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2011-03-23 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This scholarly synthesis of biblical studies and Christian social ethics is designed to provide a biblical argument for intentional institutional change on behalf of social justice. Stephen Charles Mott provides a biblical and ethical guide on ways to implement that change. The first part of the book, providing the biblical theology of intentional social change, deals with the central concepts in biblical and theological ethics: grace, evil, love, justice, and the Reign of God. Christian social change must be rooted not only in justice, but in the grace received through the death and resurrection of Christ. The second part evaluates ethical and theological methods for carrying out that intentional social change. It offers a study of evangelism, counter community, civil disobedience, armed revolution, and political reform. It shows the contribution of each as well as the strong limitations of each used in isolation. A recurring theme of the book is the scriptural insistence on the priority of justice as taking upon oneself the cause of the oppressed. Justice is understood on bringing back into the community those who are near to falling out of it. Political authority has a vital role in social change for justice. It is essential that a Christian use all available and legitimate means of meeting basic needs by providing for all what is essential for inclusion in society. In this revised edition, Mott updates the contemporary illustrations and includes his own further reflections in the last thirty years on this topic.
