Showing titles in Ethics

Stem-cell research. Cloning. Genetic engineering. Today, discoveries in biotechnology are occurring so rapidly that we can barely begin to address one ethical debate before another looms overhead. This brave new world we've entered is a daunting one as well, with disturbing implications for the...

EL SIGLO XX NO FUE CLEMENTE CON LA TEOLOGÍA REFORMADA CLÁSICA Aunque los teólogos conservadores suelen culpar a los teólogos liberales de socavar las doctrinas protestantes tradicionales, los conservadores evangélicos más fervientes y los neoortodoxos también revisaron en gran medida varias doctrinas esenciales. Aunque Cornelius Van Til desarrolló la apologética presuposicional como un intento de permanecer fiel a la verdad cristiana intemporal, en el proceso sacrificó la comprensión universal y reformada del uso de la revelación natural en teología y apologética. "Las cosas ...

Jesus calls us to make disciples of all the nations. Many Christians believe this means enlisting soldiers in a culture war. But putting faith in the service of politics risks remaking God in our own image. How can the church help bring God's kingdom to earth without relying on the political structures of this world? Critiquing our idolization of the values of classical Western liberalism, Steven Félix-Jäger seeks a renewal of the church's public witness.

Being pro-life means that not only do we see abortion as a murder, but we also see our apathy against injustice toward outside of the womb as a coconspirator in the fight for life. It means that we fight for racial equality. It means that we love - the woman walking into the abortion clinic - passionately with the love of Christ, and it means we embrace life no matter what label may be attached to a person's identity.

Wisdom Begins with the Fear of God Sir Matthew Hale (1609–1676) was one of the most respected jurists of seventeenth-century England, known for his integrity, legal scholarship, and deep Christian faith. A man of both intellect and piety, Hale believed that the existence and attributes of God are clearly revealed in creation and that our failure to acknowledge Him is the root of all folly. In these two essays—one on why we must consider our final end and another on the fear of God—Hale argues that if we want to be wise, we must consider how our physical death is a call to repent of ...

Has God really left it up to us to discover the best way to govern ourselves? Is "trial and error" on a national scale the best we can do as we form our civil governments? Imagine if God suddenly formed a bunch of people into a nation from scratch one day. Imagine God giving them a structure for their government and a relatively small set of rules and concepts for the purpose of protecting the most vulnerable members of society. It might be worthwhile to study those things. Of course, that is precisely what happened in the early stages of the biblical narrative. God brought Israel out of ...

While preparing the way for the Lord, John the Baptist declares, "Produce fruit in keeping with repentance." Many have failed to do this, in part, because repentance has become diluted. Rather than truly turning away from sin--back to God--we often equate repentance with a mere oral confession...

On the scale of stranger to bromance, where do your friendships land? As guys, we tend to get a bum rap when it comes to our ability to relate to other men. We talk work, sports, and buffalo wings, but struggle to move into meaningful conversation with our friends. Justin Erickson has identified seven kinds of friendships every man needs to thrive and grow as a Christian. Based on the biblical role models of men like David, Paul, and Timothy, these are the relationships that ultimately make you the man that God has called you to be.

The Scriptures consistently present the Christian life as a spiritual conflict in which believers must remain watchful over their hearts, minds, and conduct. When a person comes to faith in Jesus Christ, they are redeemed, forgiven, and brought into a new relationship with God. They are no longer under the dominion of sin as they once were, and they now belong to Christ as members of His body. Yet the Bible also makes it clear that salvation does not remove the believer from spiritual warfare. Until the final redemption at the resurrection, believers still live in a fallen world, inhabit ...

What did Paul really mean in 1 Corinthians 11? Was the head covering a temporary custom, a permanent ordinance, or something far deeper than modern readers often assume? Women and Head Coverings is a bold and reverent examination of one of the most neglected and uncomfortable subjects in Christian worship. Refusing both modern mockery and empty traditionalism, this book digs into the biblical text itself—tracing Paul’s argument through headship, creation, glory, shame, nature, and the presence of angels. It wrestles honestly with the strongest arguments on both sides and asks whether ...

America's two greatest strengths - her liberal democratic culture and her free market economy - have made her a global superpower. But left unchecked, these two strengths can become great cultural weaknesses, sowing selfishness, recklessness, and apathy. In Resurrecting the Idea of a Christian Society, theologian R. R. Reno argues that America needs a renewal of Christian ideals - ideals that encourage self-sacrifice, responsibility, and solidarity.

With the pervasiveness of vitriol and dishonesty today, language needs to be revived and restored.

The prospect of blending the authority of spiritual institutions with the machinery of secular governance has long sparked apprehension among historians, theologians, and political theorists alike. The concern arises not merely from abstract principle but from a tapestry of lived experience, woven through the centuries by communities that have tasted both the allure of joint power and the bitterness of its consequences. At the heart of this dilemma stands the persistent question of how a faith tradition, founded upon ideals of humility, service, and moral conviction, can maintain its ...

UN CONCEPTO CLAVE PARA LA ÉTICA, APOLOGÉTICA Y TEOLOGÍA PUBLICA! Como cristianos, afirmamos que las Escrituras son nuestra guía suprema hacia toda la verdad y la justicia (Sola Scriptura). Sin embargo, algunos desean ir más allá y afirmar que es nuestra única guía. ¿Pero cómo podemos explicar la notable perspicacia e integridad moral que muchos incrédulos parecen mostrar? De hecho, ¿cómo explicar las innumerables formas en que los propios creyentes navegan por el mundo basándose en el conocimiento y la intuición no siempre derivados exclusivamente de las Escrituras? ¡...
