<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>An intelligent discussion of the foundations and methods in ethics and ways to apply a Christian worldview to our secular culture.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Provides a discussion of the foundations and methods in ethics and ways to apply a Christian worldview to a secular culture.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>T</b>he vexing complexities of our modern world often generate cynicism or even despair in the face of moral decision making. <i>Choosing the Good </i>proposes a framework for doing ethics with confident humility, despite the cultural context undermining such endeavors. This book accomplishes two goals in that it provides a survey of essential issues salient for reflection on the moral life and Christian ethics, and argues for a particular approach to doing ethics. <br/><br/>Dennis Hollinger provides a survey of perspectives, suggesting that an effective Christian ethic must have its basis in a Christian worldview. He examines the complexities of our pluralistic and postmodern society, reflects on factors that influence Christian ethical decisions, and surveys the questions of justice, pluralism, and Christian influence in the secular world.<br/> <br/>"An outstanding resource--an ethics text that is deeply Christian, conceptually clear, personally engaging, and intellectually substantive! This is an exceptionally helpful book for Christians concerned about the moral life. Hollinger provides a clear map to guide readers through the rugged terrain of competing theoretical frameworks and complex practical questions." <br/>--<b>Christine Pohl, </b>professor emeritus of Christian ethics, Asbury Theological Seminary<br/><br/>"Much that is written in Christian ethics today focuses on only specific contemporary issues or is limited to a Christian perspective far removed from the world in which we live. In delightful contrast, Dennis Hollinger's work, while rich in application, is richer still in ethical theory, cultural critique, and historical, theological, and empirical analysis. Hollinger also accomplishes the difficult feat of staying closely in touch with today's pluralistic culture while remaining genuinely biblical and theological in outlook. Every time I finished a chapter I found myself more eager for another one. That's a good sign." <br/>--<b>John F. Kilner, </b>emeritus fellow, The Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Dennis P. Hollinger (PhD, Drew University) is president and Colman M. Mockler Distinguished Professor of Christian Ethics at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Massachusetts. He is the coeditor of the Critical Issues in Bioethics series.
