""Why write another ethics textbook?""
There are many short introductions to ethics on the market already. Moral Reasoning: An Intentional Approach to Distinguishing Right from Wrong is specifically Christian, which sets it apart from many of the others. It is an elementary introduction to Christian ethics that focuses on the theoretical side rather than the practical. The goal is to provide a very approachable guide for Christians to Western philosophical ethics.
Moral Reasoning: An Intentional Approach to Distinguishing Right from Wrong features:
Chapters beginning with a synopsis that very briefly explains an overview of the chapter's content.
End-of-chapter questions for the reader to think deeply about and to encourage discussion.
A focus on ethical theories rather than important historical figures, including sidebars used to introduce the most significant thinkers associated with each ethical theory discussed.
