Synopsis
Excerpt from Conscience Christ: Six Lectures on Christian Ethics
HE present lectures were delivered as the Haskell Lectures in the Theological Seminary of Oberlin College, Ohio, u.s.a during the autumn of 1913. They would have been published earlier but for the war. They were delivered very much as they stand, with a few omissions. I have thought it best to add considerable notes and appendices rather than to enlarge the lectures...

Conscience Christ: Six Lectures on Christian Ethics (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This philosophical and theological text posits that moral teaching across religions often takes the form of appeals to authority, leaving the reader to question the relationship between philosophical and theological ethics, and the role of conscience in moral reasoning. The author presents an ideal form of Utilitarianism, arguing that actions are right insofar as they promote a universal Good which includes elements such as moral goodness and intellectual culture. However, the author recognizes that individuals may not always have the experience or knowledge to make these determinations, and therefore we must rely on authority to some extent. The author presents the view that Jesus Christ, due to his supreme moral insight, can be considered an ethical authority, but emphasizes that this submission to external authority should not be absolute. Ultimately, the author suggests that the ethical teaching of Jesus Christ should be accepted as the supreme guide for modern life, but only on condition that it is understood to lay down principles and not details of conduct, and that the principle of development is admitted. By doing so, this book endeavours to reconcile our reliance on conscience with the authority of external sources of guidance, providing a nuanced understanding of the role of ethics in our lives.
