Additional Info
The classic theories of Aristotle, Kant, and Mill have influenced Christian thought in morality and ethics for centuries. But they can go only so far, writes ethicist Wyndy Corbin Reuschling in Reviving Evangelical Ethics: The Promises and Pitfalls of Classic Models of Morality. In this readable book she introduces and overviews the three classic philosophical schools of ethics: virtue, deontology, and teleology.
While the philosophers’ approaches to virtue, duty, and utility have been used widely in forming ethical and moral practices, and are helpful for understanding various dimensions of ethics, Corbin Reuschling argues that they also have limitations from a theological perspective. These theories cannot account for the richness of Christian morality, which involves Scripture, the church, and the development of conscience for increasing skills in moral reflection and ethical deliberation. The author shows how evangelicals wittingly or unwittingly fall into one or another of the classic models without adequate biblical and theological reflection, probes deeply to deconstruct each philosophical approach, and reconstructs a broader, biblically based framework for personal and group ethics. This clear and accessible introductory ethics text will serve college and seminary students well.

Giving Thanks To God
$9.99After many years of writing her own words in her prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to be more attentive to the Savior’s voice and begin listening for what He was saying. So with pen in hand, she embarked on a journey that forever changed her-and many others around the world. In the powerful pages of Jesus Calling, Sarah recounts the words and Scriptures Jesus lovingly laid on her heart-words of reassurance, comfort, and hope that have made her increasingly aware of His presence and allowed her to enjoy His peace.
In the Jesus Calling Bible Study series, participants will be guided through eight sessions of study on key principles and topics presented in Sarah’s bestselling book. Readers will study Scripture passages each day to progressively learn (1) what it means to be thankful to God in every situation; (2) how to live boldly for God in a way that inspires others to follow Christ; (3) how to give the control to Christ and put Him first in everything they do; and (4) what it means to trust completely in God and dwell in His peace. Each eight-session study includes readings from Jesus Calling, selected Scripture and Bible Study questions, and daily reflection questions, and is designed for use in personal, small-group, or classroom settings.
