Faith, Formation, and Decision: Ethics in the Community of Promise
James Childs's concise and compelling
introduction is based on twenty years of
teaching and writing in Christian
ethics.
Illuminating his case with examples from business, medicine, and public policy dilemmas, Childs constructs an original and comprehensive proposal for Christian ethics—"dialogical ethics"—one that resonates well with contemporary concern for character and virtue but is also animated and informed by Christian faith.
