Synopsis

An introduction to ethics that will help Christians rediscover a moral reasoning rooted in Scripture and navigate the ethical crises of our time. How should Christians live? How should we interact with one another? Why do we think the way we do about right and wrong? How should we approach today's complex moral questions? Keith Stanglin realigns our ethical thinking around the central question: What does real love require? applying it to our ethical reasoning on many of the social issues present in today's culture:abortionsexual ethicsconsumerismtechnologyraceand politicsMoral evaluation must be based on more than our subjective feelings or the received wisdom or majority opinion of our community. But thinking objectively and reasonably about our ethical commitments is a process that's rarely taught in contemporary education or even in churches.Ethics Beyond Rules is a clear and accessible introduction for thoughtful Christians who want to lead moral lives—who want to define their moral code by firm biblical standards while acknowledging the complex nature of the issues at hand. Stanglin's love-based framework for moral decision-making engages Scripture and the historic Christian faith, giving Christians the tools to clear-mindedly consider the ethical problems of today and the foundation to confront new issues in the years to come.Discussion questions and further reading are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

While I am sure to be hypercritical of this book, it is not all entirely wrong. However, the Author presents these dissertations in lousy form. The author's arguments are based on an erroneous premise. A lot of these have been observed in part 1 of the book. In part 2, a few of the arguments made we......more

Goodreads review by Jonathan on August 22, 2022

In the 65 pages that make up part 1 Stanglin accessibly presents a Christian ethics 101 course that skillfully covers classic ethical questions. Some of the ethical case studies he tackles in part 2 were more helpful than others. Despite being very well researched, the short chapters did not give St......more

Goodreads review by Scott on January 25, 2023

I appreciate the straightforward nature and aim of this book. “What does love require of you?” This is the question that provides the bedrock of our Christian ethic. Using the framework of the Wesleyan Quadrilateral, the author works through various social topics to stir a moment of self examination......more
