An Introduction to Biblical Ethics

One of the best books I have had the pleasure of reading/studying. It really breaks done the Love of God and explains how we should Love. I recommend that anyone one who is in Seminary or taking any type of Religious study class should really think about getting this book. I gaurantee you will love it and cherish it and use it over and over again as a reference....

This is the best book on the topic that I have ever read!

We live in a world where ethics are no longer a concern. What is sin one day is viewed as normal the next (see Massachusetts and its legalizing of gay marriages). Dr. McQuilkin gives the Christian a textbook on biblical ethics. His authority is not his opinion or his astute intelect but the inerrant Word of God. There is hardly an issue that Dr. McQuilkin does not deal with from pornography, alcohol, abortion, war, politics, and homosexuality. He comes at each issue with one purpose and that is to examine what the Bible says about the issue. Sometimes that is easier said than done. However, Dr. McQuilkin always seeks to find a biblical understanding of ethics and disregards cultural values that change with the latest opinion polls.

I know the author and he has my deepest respect. He practices what he preaches! I use this book for my adult Sunday School class and my students love it. The first six chapters are a must read; the rest is a handy and helpful resource. The scholarship is well-done, very practical, and thoroughly biblical.

This book is and answer to many questions one may have about ethics. Have a problem with some area of life, look it up in the index and the author helps you find the answers in the Bible. Sometimes a little preachy but mostly clear consice information you can share with others. Looks like a textbook but works great on the nightstand.
