Description
This radical new assessment of Christian ethics tackles issues such as theseead-on to offer a perspective on the relationship between Christianity andhe process of moral decision-making in an increasingly secular world.;umerous influential Christian writers assert that the Bible teachers a verylack-and-white approach to morality, leaving little scope for the ethicalomplexities raised by modern living. However John Elford, through hisnalysis of th history of Christianity, and a persuasive reading of thcriptures, presents the Christian faith as a system attuned to suchncertainty, and which thus offers a moral framework that is both timelessnd dynamic.;Applying his theory to today's complex moral issues, Elford'scholarly but accessible argument and thought-provoking conclusions shouldngage Christian and non-Christian, academic and non-academic readers alike.
