Lesson Overview
This course provides a biblical orientation to Christian ethics. Many believers today have lost their moral footing. Moreover, believers who want to live ethically are frequently confused by the complexities of ethical decisions. Even so, with proper study of the Bible’s system of ethics, Christians can learn how to evaluate problems in ways that lead to biblical solutions. It is based on the DVD lessons of Dr. John M. Frame.
Lesson Objectives
When you complete this lesson, you should be able to:
- Express an understanding of the importance of knowing both God’s character and His normative revelation for making ethical decisions.
