Casting Bread: A History of HBU's Center for the Foundations of Ethics

by David Baggett

The Center for the Foundations of Ethics at HBU aims to facilitate and promote quality scholarly work on a variety of moral arguments for God’s existence; to equip believers and local churches—chaplains and counselors, pastors and laypeople—to use the argument(s) in their evangelistic outreach; to generate curricula to make those resources readily available at every educational level; to publish and promote work that advances the agenda of moral apologetics through Moral Apologetics Press; and to make HBU the epicenter of cutting-edge work in the promotion and promulgation of the moral argument for the God of classical theism generally and Christianity particularly. The Center for the Foundations of Ethics at HBU supports and publicly advances an interdisciplinary community of scholars dedicated to exploring and answering an array of questions that arise concerning moral evidence for God's existence and essential goodness.

David Baggett knew I would read this book (your final paragraph cracked me up :-)), but it is an encouragement to me. I think that the most important lesson I took away from this book is that you need to be willing to hold to your vision, persevere for what you want, and trust that God will point you in the direction that you need to go. As someone who is currently tasked with leading a nonprofit, I can identify with so much in this book and feel like I found a brother through these pages.
