The range of ethical systems and moral philosophies available can be confusing to people seeking clarity about what the different theories mean for everyday life. Christian Ethics: Four Views presents a dialogue between four main approaches to ethics in the Christian tradition. Virtue ethics focuses less on the action itself and more on the virtuous character of the moral agent. A divine command approach looks instead at whether an action has been commanded by God, in which case it is morally right. Natural law ethics argues for a universal, objective morality grounded in nature. Finally, prophetic ethics judges what is morally right in light of a biblical understanding of divine justice and shalom.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Steve Wilkens</note> <subject> <topic>Religion Christian Theology Ethics</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">241</classification> <classification authority="ddc">S843-W68</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780830840236</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/8/24/_347639824_140.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/8/24/_347639824_140.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070729.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
