Christian Ethics in Context

This course is an introduction to the content, methods, and practices of Christian ethics.  We (the Teaching Team) intend to provide students with an introduction to select key voices, in the recent past and present, in Christian ethics and to some tools for doing moral reflection/action with some attention to poverty and ecological destruction as moral issues.  We hope to encourage students to refine the ethical awareness that they bring to a variety of moral challenges, within their lives, within the churches, and within society.  Lectures, small group discussions; analysis of a moral argument; figure paper; final integrative project on wealth and poverty.  Prerequisites: Introductory Bible and Theology.
