Christians are should exhibit personal ethics that represent the image of Jesus. Personal ethics is defined

issue that all Christians have an ethical and moral duty to address. Although there are many secular organizations and individuals who offer support and assistance to those in need, Christians must become involved in efforts to alleviate poverty. Ignoring the issue, waiting for someone else to assume responsibility, and/or believing that people in poverty deserve to be poor, are all incorrect attitudes, as well as non-Biblical responses. I will be using the Revelational Christian Ethic to show, according

Christian Ethics and Sexual Misconduct What is Christian Ethics? Can pastoral care be separated from Christian ethics? What is sexual harassment or misconduct? Is it ethical to serve in Christian ministry if one frequently engages in sexual misconduct? As we attempt to answer these questions in the next few pages, we’ll get into some areas where most people may feel a little uneasy.

In Neil Messer’s book, Christian Ethics, he outlines three approaches to economics as classified by theologian Stephen Long. These three being a dominant tradition, an emergent tradition, and a residual tradition. After reading through and considering the merits of each I feel that as a Christian, one must embrace the residual tradition.

One such medical advancement is the practice of organ donation and transplantation. The first successful organ transplant took place in 1954 and since then the issues related to this practice have become increasingly complex. If one looks

Because of the omnipresence of the Christian tradition in the Western world, many preconceptions exist about what Christian ethics entails. Some may be able to cite various lines that they attribute to scripture, such as “Love Thy Neighbor”, or various Ten Commandments.

The approach to metaethics I selected in Forum 3 is Revelational Christian Ethics. As previously stated, it draws upon the core values from the life and teachings of Jesus Christ as the foundation of morality, guidelines for behavior and decision-making. It is applicable to all aspects of life, particularly the ethical business issues confronting corporate leaders.

The study of the ethical thinker, Stanley Hauerwas, was about Christian ethics. Christian ethics in Hauerwas’s eyes are more about forming narrative, and the reason why he sees it that way is because of how ethics is following scripture of the Bible.
