Christian Ethics

How can Christians make decisions in a morally complex world? What makes ethics particularly ’Christian’? One of the primary aims of Christian ethics is to discover how we can convert our work toward God’s purposes so that God can make our work holy. In Christian Ethics, Timothy R. Gaines illuminates this topic as something the people of God can use to reorient our lives toward the way of Jesus and the mission of God in the world. Reason alone will not convert our work to the way of Jesus. Christians are called to action in God’s created world, which is why reasoning engages practice in the chapters of this book so that Wesleyan readers can think and act morally in ways that are faithfully Christian and holy in response to the leading of God.
