This is a very fine introduction to biblical foundations for Christian ethics. Fedler insightfully walks through the biblical narrative, with attention to major theological and ethical themes, to provide a framework for beginning to do Christian ethics. I recommend this book to interested people.

On the general study of ethics it’s a little basic but the a biblical application is excellent!

The book was wrote by Kyle D. Fedler and published by Westminster John Knox Press. The Author has taught Christian ethics before. I chose this book because I have taken ethics courses before and wanted to know how ethics differed using a Christian perspective. The book discussed the grammar of ethics (right vs. wrong; good vs. bad; duty, obligation, jealously, and compassion, for example). The book also discussed types of ethics (descriptive, prescriptive, metaethical). I enjoyed reading that section because I am a psychology major. I highly recommend this book. I loved reading it and will continue to read it.
