End of the Law

What does it mean to study Christian ethics today? for many of us, the historical and cultural impact of Christianity has been so great that to make sense of the world in which we live we need to understand the beliefs and practices of this extraordinarily influential faith, and the worldviews that accompany it.David Cunningham has written an introduction to Christian ethics with a difference. His imaginative and lively approach is designed for today's students, who have a keen interest in theology and ethics, but who find traditional biblical and theological narratives daunting. He draws on film, literature and music as well as the experience of everyday life to provide students with a vivid and accessible introduction to the field. Topics covered include the nature of human action, the narratives and discourse of ethics, and the development of a virtue ethics approach in its Christian context. He also tackles key contemporary issues in Christian ethics: the ethics of business and economics, politics, the environment, medicine and sex. Vivid examples, questions for discussion, summary boxes and lists of further reading all help the reader to a painless understanding of the materialStudents and indeed anyone wishing to learn more about Christian ethics will find this engaging book the perfect introduction.Cunningham, David S. is the author of 'End of the Law', published 2008 under ISBN 9780415376006 and ISBN 0415376009.
