CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ethics Ethics is distinguished from the other natural sciences which deal with moral conduct of man, as jurisprudence and pedagogy, in this, that the latter do not ascend to first principles, but borrow their fundamental notions from ethics, and are therefore subordinate to it. Christians are bound to observe not only the prescriptions of the natural law, but also all the precepts given by Christ concerning faith, hope, love, Divine worship, and the imitation of Himself. Christianity restored to mankind the consciousness of its unity and solidarity, and supernaturally transfigured the natural precept to love our neighbour, by demonstrating that all men are children of the same Father in heaven, were redeemed by the same blood of the same Saviour, and are destined to the same supernatual salvation. www.newadvent.org /cathen/05556a.htm   (11156 words)

Christian Ethics Christian ethics escape this problem of cultural relativity because it is based upon the nature of God. Christian ethics applies to everyone and is not merely a parochial discipline for Jews and Christians. Christians who come to know the nature of their forgiveness, their unconditional acceptance before the Father, and their acceptance into the Christian community, are then freer to focus on meeting the needs of others. www.fni.com /cim/technicals/ethics_t.html   (7082 words)

AN APPROACH TO CHRISTIAN ETHICS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) The purpose of this paper is to describe the basic components of this "principles" approach, to explain its hermeneutical approach, to contrast this ethical approach to the contextualist and the theonomist approaches, and to apply this approach to the some of the issues which were discussed in class. So also is the sanctification of individual Christians and the church, since we as Christians and the Body of Christ are the presence of Christ in the world - the light of the worldFootnote4, the salt of the earthFootnote5, the pillar and support of the truthFootnote6. One problem for all Christian ethical approaches is how to apply the biblical ethics to a society that is two thousand to thirty-five hundred years removed the biblical period. www.xenos.org /essays/ethapp.htm   (4763 words)

Christian Ethics and   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) The nature of Christian ethics is determined by the fact that Christian convictions take the form of a story, or perhaps better, a set of stories that constitutes a tradition, which in turn creates and forms a community. That the Church cannot simply have a social ethic is apparent from the fact that Christian ethics is an embodiment of the story of Jesus in the life of the Church. Christians must strive to make our community a place where the story of Jesus is told faithfully in such a way that it produces the growth in character necessary to life in the present world. www.efn.org /~ssb/papers/virtue.htm   (4717 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) This introduction to Christian ethics aims to identify and compare basic convictions, regular practices, and dimensions of character that shape how Christians exercise their Christian discipleship, seeking a method that aids repentance and correction, and growth in wholeness and commitment to serve Jesus Christ as Lord in all of life and ministry. Christian ministers teach Christians to be disciples and to make disciples, equipping persons to be Christians in character and lifestyle, followers of Christ, rather than unaware captives of a secular culture. Christian ethics seeks to develop skills for that central ministry, which is at the heart of what Jesus did and taught. www.fuller.edu /sot/ecds/034/ET501_Stassen.html   (274 words)

Religion 401 – Christian Ethics (WI)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) A Christian person’s or community’s understanding of right and wrong, as well as what it means to live the ‘good life’ has been informed by philosophical investigations into the nature of morality, the life and teachings of Jesus, and the goal of a Christian life (ostensibly, salvation). Christian Ethics is about what it means for a Christian to live a Christian life. Christian Ethics is as much an exploration of the meaning of Christianity as it is an exploration of what it means to live a Christian life. faculty.ncwc.edu /sabenko/rel401.htm   (1541 words)

Theology Today - Vol 40, No. 1 - April 1983 - ARTICLE - Conversion And Christian Ethics I am suggesting that a conversion that is not in principle open to the future and the need for human growth in all dimensions is as little a Christian conversion as one that is in principle not open to the Cross or to membership in the community of the faithful. We have argued that the normative meaning of Christian conversion is to be found in a basic structure of human experience, involving the initiative of God's action and provoking a two - sided, inseparable response. It is the tradition of reason in Christian faith which argues for the relative importance of human activity in the world and which makes it clear that people are not fed, homes are not built, clothes are not produced and distributed by sentimental good will and pure hearts, but by intelligence and hard work. theologytoday.ptsem.edu /apr1983/v40-1-article3.htm   (5030 words)

Foundational Norms for Christian Ethics Christians must accept the full impact that God no longer has meaning in the contemporary world. The supreme norm for Christian ethics is Christ. There are further sources for the formation of ethical judgements: other biblical elements (the promise and the law), fragments of philosophical ethics (conscience and natural law), and the application of the so-called "anthropological sciences" to a post-Christian and non-Christian ethics. www.catholic.net /RCC/Periodicals/Faith/0708-96/article1.html   (1344 words)

CHRISTIAN SEXUAL ETHICS On the other hand, many "traditional" Christians, both Catholic and non-Catholic, women and men, consider the husband's headship and the wife's submission to correspond to their deep needs and/or as important for the unity of the marriage and family. Concerning the question of absolutes in sexual ethics (perhaps the most controversial question in contemporary sexual ethics), the approach taken by Lisa Cahill, as well as some of her conclusions, is markedly different from those taken by Paul Quay, and Ronald Lawler, Joseph Boyle and William May. Homosexuality, the only specific area of sexual ethics that is treated at some length in all three books, will be used to help illustrate their general views on this topic. www.ualberta.ca /~pflaman/cse.html   (5395 words)

Altruism and Christian Ethics - Cambridge University Press   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Separated from its anchorage in religion, ethics has followed the social sciences in seeing human beings as fundamentally characterized by self-interest, so that altruism is either naively idealistic or arrogantly self-sufficient. Colin Grant contends that, as a modern secular concept, altruism is a parody on the self-giving love of Christianity, so that its dismissal represents a social levelling that loses the depths that theology makes intelligible and religion makes possible. The Christian affirmation is that God is characterized by self-giving love (agape), then expected of Christians. books.cambridge.org /0521791448.htm   (233 words)

Christian Ethics She asked the ethics professor and he didn't give her an answer as to what the girl should do. I think that both of these issues are forcing the reader to think about what is ethic and what does it mean to be ethical.

Christian Ethics One approach is to look at the history and development of Christian ethical thinking from the earliest Christian writers (the New Testament writers) to the present. Another way is to examine various “types” of Christian ethical theories, e.g., Christian Realism, Narrative Ethics, Liberation Theology, etc. A third way is to start with ethical issues that have been important to Christians—such as poverty, war, and abortion—and examine the way various Christians have dealt with them. Christian ethics is not only concerned with knowing about right and wrong and good and bad from a Christian perspective, it is also concerned with doing what is right and promoting what is good. www.lyon.edu /webdata/groups/rph/rph320   (1226 words)
