Description: What is good? What is right? How can we know what we ought to do? The author examines some of the major approaches to ethics, including cultural relativism, emotivism, ethical egoism and utilitarianism. He then outlines a Christian ethic and applies it to four moral issues: human rights, criminal punishment, the legislation of morality, and sexual behaviour. (Adapted from back cover).
