PTH 933 : Ethical Issues in Contemporary Society

Develops a constructive Christian ethic as a basis from which to address the moral problems confronting the contemporary church. To accomplish this goal, it must first be determined what place the church takes within the context of a post-Christian culture. That is, what moral voice does the church have within a culture that finds the church ineffective and irrelevant? Then, emphasis will be placed on exploring the relationship between theological reflection and ethical thinking and on identifying the church's moral mission in society.
