students today have a minimum of accurate knowledge of the Bible or what Christianity is all about; they understand even less about Christian ethics.
It is important to clarify what a Christian ethic should look like because there are so few exceptional examples of lived out Biblical Christianity.
Most people have only a vague understanding of what Christian morality should look like.
This book has as its educational purpose to bring to remembrance accurate knowledge of Christianity and of Christian ethics.
It is specifically directed to those who may think they have an understanding of Christianity because they have an acquaintance with it but who are generally quite ignorant.
-from the Preface, Mark Hamilton .
a readable, accurate, biblically-based guide to ethics .
winsomely guides the uninitiated reader through the various debates about how to approach God's Law as an ethical standard, helping the student to see the differences between legalism, theonomy and antinomianism.
He draws on a variety of Christian apologists-Van Til, Schaeffer, Lewis, Bahnsen, Sire and Pink-but never overwhelms the reader.
