Opis

Outline of Christian Ethics is a Q&A book on moral questions of today. The book includes a large number of topics discussed in ethics, including personal ethics--birth, death, sex, work, wealth, the supernatural-- and social ethics--politics, society, human rights, family, international issues.

Moral questions are analyzed from an evangelical Christian viewpoint. The emphasis is on explaining ethical principles from the Bible but arguments on both sides of the questions are examined. Because the author is a statistician, positions taken by the book are frequently supported by actual data from recent statistical surveys.

Outline of Christian Ethics is a valuable guide for Christians to live a moral life. The book is a rich source of information--better than most books on ethics that we can find in bookstores. Rev. Dr. Jason Yeung, Principal, Canadian Chinese School of Theology at Ambrose Seminary (Calgary)

Dr. Hung humbly called his book an "outline"; yet, the extent of the book is broad and deep. Dr. Hung does not use purely rational and argumentative methods; he employs the method of light-hearted conversation with the reader. Every chapter is introduced with some stories to stir up the interest of the reader. Furthermore, statistical facts are added to strengthen the persuasive power of the points made. The wealth of information contained in this book will help busy pastors and Christians find the necessary information quickly. Rev. Dr. Peter Au, Principal, Canadian Chinese School of Theology at Tyndale Seminary (Toronto)
