Ethics: Approaching Moral Decisions (Contours of Christian Philosophy)

A 2007 revision by Arthur Holmes of his 1984 classic on ethical decision-making from a Christian perspective. I have long appreciated his treatment of the complexity of ethical decision-making at the case level where every available actual course of action will be at the cost of one or more of your fundamental values, requiring character-driven moral judgments about how best to approximate God's "exceptionalness absolutes" of love and justice. I just wish his discussion of gender and human sexuality were as nuanced as most of his work. Still one of the best compact treatments of moral decision making available.

I needed this book for college and it is an ok book.

Church library.

Great condition of book and fast shipping!!

This was a required book for a course. I was not particularly a big fan of the book. It arrived on time and new.Ethics courses tend to disturb me as ethics can counter morality at times. I say this because the writing is better than Okay and it is written in a very readable format.

This book is worth reading more than once. Gives you much to think about.

My daughter - in college - thinks this book is quite useful. Glad she does - as the professor gave her little choice about it as her textbook.

This book was quite informative on general ethics and how it is compared to Christian ethics. It puts ethics into perspective of God's intended love and justice for all of humanity.
