Making Moral Decisions: A Christian Approach to Personal and Social Ethics
The question "What am I to do?" needs the
balance and completion of "What are we to
do?" With clarity and insight Jersild
addresses the particular need of our time: a
great awareness of our interdependence as a
world community.
The relationship between private and public morality is clarified by exploring such questions as: "What prompts Christians to disagree on moral issues?" "Is there a Christian morality?" and "How are convictions related to decisions?"
Using critical incidents or cases to illustrate ethical points, Jersild examines such contemporary issues as euthanasia, employment and one's sense of vocation, homosexuality, and more.
