Excerpt from Conscience and Christ: Six Lectures on Christian Ethics
HE present lectures were delivered as the Haskell Lectures in the Theological Seminary of Oberlin College, Ohio, 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 to an extent which would in several cases have involved complete re-writing.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book probes the potential for a Christian ethic and morality in contemporary life. Through a series of lectures, the author examines the ethical teachings of Jesus, the historical context from which they emerged, and their relevance for today's world. Delving into the distinction between philosophical ethics and Christian ethics, and between rightness and goodness, the author explores the relationship between conscience and Christ. They argue that while conscience can guide moral decisions, external authorities such as the teachings of Jesus can also play a role, especially when it comes to understanding the full scope of good. Through an examination of particular ethical principles such as love, forgiveness, and humility, the author demonstrates how these Christian ideals can enrich our moral lives. By skillfully weaving together philosophical inquiry and Christian thought, this book offers a nuanced and compelling perspective on the role of ethics in our lives.
