n a dramatically changing world it is necessary to reassess our conceptions of ethical standards. With increased attention being paid to corporate scandals such as Enron, the reality of pre-emptive wars, the complexities of cloning, and the debate over gay marriage, many introductions to ethics have been made prematurely obsolete. Do Morals Matter? is an accessible and informed guide to contemporary ethical issues. This book discusses comparative religious ethics, moral philosophy, and applied ethics, asking difficult but relevant questions, and reflecting upon the intersection of religion and morality. It weaves the religious dimension into the book in a way that challenges both the unthinking Christian and the secular humanist.READ MORE >> | |||

Understanding Christian Doctrine is a wonderfully accessible and lively introduction to the central beliefs of Christianity. Each chapter introduces and explores a key area of doctrine- such as God, the Trinity, the Church, life after death- skilfully taking readers through the main approaches to each topic. Unlike other textbooks, however, Understanding Christian Doctrine then goes on to encourage and show readers how to take a position on these theological issues.The book is sensitive to areas of contemporary concern, tackling questions that newcomers find particularly perplexing about the Christian worldview, and discussing topics such as religion and science, and religious pluralism. To help readers understand this rich area, the book contains vignettes of major figures, glossaries, and self-study questions.READ MORE >> | |||
