While teaching ethics is universally applauded, how one goes about it is much more difficult and contested than is often recognized. On Teaching and Learning Christian Ethics addresses what it means to teach and learn ethics through a thorough comparison of two ethicists, Henry Sidgwick and F. D. Maurice. Where Sidgwick understood ethics as developing a method for guiding voluntary action to what is right, Maurice maintained that ethics concerns life as a whole, and that requires placing it within a metaphysical and theological realm in which the good is much more definitive than right.

Seen as godless by the religious and weak by the atheists, secularism mostly has been misunderstood.

Throughout her nearly 40 years in ministry, Heidi Neumark has strived to make the communities she was part of sanctuaries amid the turmoils of life.

As a lady was throwing ashes on their frozen lake, her neighbor asked: “What are you doing?” “I am putting these ashes on the ice,” she replied. “Why don’t you get your husband to do that?” he enquired. “This is my husband!” she declared!

What if the greatest danger facing today’s believers isn’t persecution, but compromise? In a world where moral lines are blurred, truth is traded for convenience, and faith is watered down by cultural pressure, the question is no longer whether Christians can survive—but whether they can stand with integrity. Every day, you are confronted with choices that test your convictions: decisions about relationships, money, politics, sexuality, work, technology, and faith itself. The temptation to bend the truth or blend in with the crowd feels overwhelming. Many have already surrendered ...

Pro-life clinics and end-of-life interventions, intelligent-design activists and stem-cell-research opponents. Is this the state of modern medicine in America? In Blind Faith, Dr. Richard P. Sloan examines the fragile balance and dangerous alliance between religion and medicine - two practices that have grown disconcertingly close during the 21st century.

In this bold and hopeful book, theologian Daniel C. Maguire writes that traditional, supernatural aspects of Christianity can be comforting but are increasingly questionable. A century of scholarly research has not been supportive of the dogmatic triad of personal god, incarnate savior, and life after death.

How do you eliminate a half trillion annual expense in the US alone? How do you prevent capital offenses in the first place? God has the solution: we just don't like key parts of it. We shoot ourselves in the foot in order to think of ourselves as dignified and compassionate. Yet the responsibility of public stoning (with the rest of the Biblical model) is more dignified and compassionate than any alternative. Death is the most severe court judgment in the full range of Biblical justice tools, and so it deserves primary investigation.

All Christians read the Bible differently, pray differently, value their traditions differently, and give different weight to individual and corporate judgment. These differences are the basis of conflict. The question Christian ethics must answer, then, is, "What does the good life look like in the context of conflict?"
