Christian Ethics

Christian Ethics is an upper division class devoted to the study of Christian ethics and a brief survey of some contemporary moral issues. We will begin with a short study of the origin of Western and Christian ethical traditions, then study Christian teachings as they pertain to the issues of love, justice, liberty, sin, and salvation. We will move on to study controversial moral issues such as world views, humanist vs. Christian euthanasia, biomedical issues, abortion, the family, sexual ethics, and the distribution of health care resources. We will attempt to survey a number of issues within the framework of Christian ethical concerns and morality.
