GB 5473 - Christian Ethics (3)

This course examines a number of basic questions: What is the Christian church called to be and do? How does our life together relate to the surrounding, unbelieving culture? To what authority or authorities should the church yield allegiance? How does scripture mediate authority in ethical decision making and character formation? How does “Christian ethics” relate to other philosophical “ethical theories”? In the context of these and similar questions, the course will also examine, with necessarily brief attention, a number of specific issues: money and economics; sex and reproduction; violence and war-making; politics and social justice.
