Kingdom Ethics
نویسنده
چکیده
When I first studied ethics as part of my theological training this centred on the Decalogue. While some special attention was paid to issues in social ethics as well as the challenge of the New Morality popularised by Bishop Robinson and Joseph Fletcher, the approach was in the main deontological. It was based on the “oughts” or necessity (Gk. deon) of God's law. Probably this approach was representative of what was taught at other conservative seminaries. A widely used textbook at that time, Principles of Conduct by John Murray, was based on creation ordinances and the Ten Commandments.
