Description
This introductory textbook presents Christian philosophical and theological approaches to ethics. Combining their expertise in philosophy and theology, the authors explain the beliefs, values, and practices of various Christian ethical viewpoints, addressing biblical teachings as well as traditional ethical theories that contribute to informed moral decision-making. Each chapter begins with Words to Watch and includes a relevant case study on a vexing ethical issue, such as caring for the environment, human sexuality, abortion, capital punishment, war, and euthanasia. End-of-chapter reflection questions, illustrations, and additional information tables are also included.

If you are a beginning to intermediate student in Christian Philosophy/Theology, this will be an enormously helpful guide for you on learning the basic concepts and terminology involved with these fields.
This is a well organised book that not only has words to watch at the beginning of each chapter, but also asks thought-provoking questions at the end of each chapter, which are highly useful to ensure that you understand the concepts that were introduced in each section. I liked the way the authors used real-world examples from modern society to illustrate their point and to cause the reader to think about what decision they might make in the given scenario.
This is an intelligent, well-written book with a lot to offer the Christian philosopher. I would definitely recommend it to others as a great starting point for a broader education.
This review is based on a complimentary copy from the publisher, provided through Netgalley. All opinions are my own.
