Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ethics of the Christian Life, Vol. 25 Books on ethics abound, but scarcely books on Christian ethics. When the qualifying word is added the supply is not so great. It is commonly thought that ethics is a science that may be examined and treated like any other science, apart from all presuppositions that transcend the present life. Psychology may pursue its way untrammelled by the hypothesis of a soul. It seeks to explore mind by careful observation of mental processes and physical experiments and inductive reasoning, and to reduce the region of spiritual mystery to an exact science. Cannot ethics proceed in an analogous way? Whether this may be so or not, certain it is that there is no accepted theory of ethics. Ethics is based in metaphysics, and the metaphysical basis will determine the character of the theory. This is shown in the first part of the present work, and English students who desire more information and instruction will find it in such works as the Methods of Ethics of the late Professor Sidgwick, the Types of Ethical Theory of the eloquent James Martineau. Mill's utilitarianism will represent the hedonistic or eudæmonistic point of view, while the evolutionist's theories are treated in Spencer's Data of Ethics, Stephen's Science and Ethics, and Alexander's Moral Order and Progress. Bradley's Ethical Studies represent Hegelianism as conceived by him in an English dress. There are many useful works of an introductory kind which may be recommended, as Mackenzie's Manual of Ethics, clearly written and useful, and Muirhead's Elements of Ethics, with Sidgwick's History of Ethics. In all such works, and many others easy to mention, old and recent, the practical part is usually limited in range, if treated at all.

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 Ethical Christianity written by Hugh Price Hughes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ethical Christianity: A Series of Sermons Christianity aims at producing a particular kind of life upon earth, and it declares the only way in which that particular kind of life can be realized. What that kind of life is I have tried to explain in this volume. I do not believe that there is any honest agnostic or unbeliever in the world who would object to the sort of conduct which is exemplified and advocated in these sermons. All the noblest unbelievers have now accepted the ethical teaching of Christ as the highest and best. We are agreed with respect to the practical result at which we ought to aim. Now, can that practical result be achieved on a large scale in any way except in the Christian way? We appeal to the tribunal of history and declare that Christ like men and women can be produced only by Christ and He Himself can produce them only by entering into living union with such men and women as are willing to receive the Christ-like life from Him. Therefore we Christians all agree with Bishop Lightfoot in the strong statement that the core of the Gospel does not lie in the moral teaching and the moral example of our Lord. Its distinctive character is, that in revealing a Person it reveals also a principle of life - the union with God in Christ, apprehended by faith in the present and assured to us hereafter by the Resurrection. Nevertheless, it is of great importance that all men should clearly understand what is the nature Of that Ethical Christianity which is the direct and inevitable fruit of vital union with Jesus Christ. What that Ethical Christianity is, this volume tries to explain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Apostle Paul and the Christian Life written by Scot McKnight and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2016-02-23 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "new perspective" on Paul, an approach that seeks to reinterpret the apostle Paul and his letters against the backdrop of first-century Judaism, has been criticized by some as not having value for ordinary Christians living ordinary lives. In this volume, world-renowned scholars explore the implications of the new perspective on Paul for the Christian life and church. James D. G. Dunn, N. T. Wright, Bruce Longenecker, Scot McKnight, and other leading New Testament scholars offer a response to this question: How does the apostle Paul understand the Christian life? The book makes a fresh contribution to the new perspective on Paul conversation and offers important new insights into the orientation of the Christian life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Ethics, Vol. 1 In virtue of his firm and independent nature - partly inborn and partly developed in the severe school of experience - he felt also a pressing need of a firmly-based construction of his theo logical views, and of a clear, distinct, and unambiguous ex pression of the same. This need was in part met by the Lutheran form of doctrine. It is true, he saw very clearly the defects and imperfections which a scientific construction and demonstration of this doctrinal formula bring to light; taking into consideration, however, its essential features, he found in it the purest and truest didactic presentation of evangelical truth.* To preserve this form of the truth in its main features.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Ethics, Vol. 2: Pure Ethics Christianity, but thus far no one has yet done for Christian Ethics in our literature, what Danaens and Calixtus did for it in the Reformed and Lutheran Churches of continental Europe. The Science of Christian Ethics is with us almost unknown. Too many of our least suspected manuals, written by honored and able evangelical divines, presuppose and continually imply a Socinian anthropology, and a worse than Romish soteriology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from System of Christian Ethics The last twenty years of Dorner's life were clouded by the dementia of his youngest son - a youth of the brightest promise, who, while pursuing his gymnasium studies, was overtaken with the disease from which he has never recovered. To those who knew the intensely domestic and affectionate nature of the man, the manner in which he bore this trial was a touching revelation of the depth of his Christian faith and resignation. And when to this affliction was added his own physical suffering, his Christian character still bore the test. As Professor Kleinert says, in his memorial address before the Berlin Faculty, In all this no complaint passed over his lips, no painful word concerning his bodily pain. Scarcely a quiver of the hand, or a tear in the eye, betrayed his mental suffering, when he had to surrender to other hands one after another of the official duties and voluntary labours of benevolence which had grown into his very heart. He suffered not like a Stoic, with a heart steeled against the Medusa gaze of a brazen fate. He suffered like a child of God that receives from the Father's hand, with unwavering trust, even what is hard to bear; like one that has peace in the atonement and has hope reaching beyond death.
