About Moral Choices: An Introduction To Ethics
Product Description With its unique union of theory and application and its well-organized, easy-to-use design, Moral Choices has earned its place as the standard text for college ethics courses. This fourth edition offers extensive updates, revisions, and three brand new chapters all designed to help students develop a sound and current basis for making ethical decisions in today's complex postmodern culture. Moral Choices outlines the distinctive elements of Christian ethics while avoiding undue dogmatism. The book also introduces other ethical systems and their key historical proponents, including Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, and Immanuel Kant. After describing a seven-step procedure for tackling ethical dilemmas, author Scott Rae uses case studies to address some of today's most pressing social issues. He guides students in thinking critically and biblically about issues, including: Abortion Reproductive Technologies Euthanasia Capital Punishment Sexual Ethics The Morality of War Genetic Technologies and Human Cloning Ethics and Economics NEW: Creation Care NEW: Animal Rights NEW: Gun-Control NEW: Race, Gender, and Diversity NEW: Immigration, Refugees, and Border Control FEATURES Relevant Case Studies throughout Discussion questions at the end of each chapter Sidebars with case studies for discussion Recommended further reading Review 'In this highly readable and well-referenced book, Scott Rae patiently works through some of the most relevant and perplexing moral questions of the twenty-first century. Given the nature of these issues, this is not an easy task. His careful analysis is illustrated with many enlightening analogies. Beyond that, many readers will appreciate his answers to foundational questions such as why the topic matters in the first place, how to think morally and the variety of ways people do so, and what distinguishes a Christian approach to ethical analysis from a nonchristian one. Those who desire to navigate the perplexing maze of moral questions and various viewpoints on them will find this book invaluable.' -- Paul Chamberlain, professor of ethics and leadership, director of Institute of Christian Apologetics, Trinity Western University 'Moral Choices is a treasure.

Anyone reading this book will not get lost in how to wrestle with such choices and will possess a solid guide on how to think about them.' -- Darrell Bock, senior research professor of New Testament, executive director of cultural engagement at the Hendricks Center, Dallas Theological Seminary 'Moral Choices is my go-to book on helping students think through challenging ethical issues. I recently took a group of advanced high school students through it, and they loved it. It is clear, compelling, and biblical. I’m thrilled about this update and am honored to offer it my highest recommendation.' -- Sean McDowell, PhD, speaker, author, associate professor, Biola University 'In my twenty years of teaching Christian Ethics, Moral Choices has been very helpful for my students because it is biblically grounded, clear, and engaging, and it helps readers both to think through the process of Christian moral reasoning and to apply such reasoning to the issues of our day. This updated and expanded fourth edition is timely, with new chapters on “Creation Care and Environmental Ethics,” “Violence and Gun Control,” “Race, Gender, and Diversity,” and “Immigration, Refugees, and Border Control.” Readers may disagree with some of Dr. Rae’s conclusions, but all will benefit from his work on critical moral issues.' -- Ken Magnuson, professor of Christian ethics, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary 'I regard Scott Rae’s latest book, the
