Provides an outline for Christian ethics, explaining some of the major ideas and approaches with memorable charts, graphs, and other visual study aids.

Christian ethics is an important field of study for the student, pastor, or concerned layperson, but it's also one of the most complicated academic disciplines, having roots in both philosophy and theology.

  • Philosophical Foundations of Ethics (including logic, metaphysics, and epistemology)
  • Approaches to Ethics (metaethics, normative ethics, and applied ethics)
  • Biblical Foundations of Christian Ethics (hermeneutics, ethics in the Old Testament, and ethics in the New Testament)
  • Theological Foundations of Christian Ethics (including God, creation, man, and the church)
  • History of Ethics (including the premodern, modern, and postmodern eras)
