Evangelical Ethics: Issues Facing the Church Today, 4th ed. Paperback – November 6, 2015

This is a great intermediate book on Christian Ethics from a conservative evangelical perspective. It is academic but also accessible and can be a help academically and pastorally. I am glad I read this book and will return to it again in various ministry situations.

The book provide many relevant issues which are facing the church today. the church nowadays cannot decide many issues; especial the issue of homosexuality which is very dangerous to the church. we have the problem of environment which Davis has analyzed. Anyway, the book is very good for this time. Even though its weakness is biased with the European culture. Some issues addressed in this book are inapplicable in some African context, for example the issue of Divorce and Remarriage, is not easy to solve in African context.

Fantastic theological and practical book on how the Church must and can take a stand in medical ethics.

As a Christian, I’ve always liked John Frame’s definition of theology — “the application of the whole Bible to the whole of human life.” A case in point, this book by John Jefferson Davis is one of those that seeks to apply the word of God to all areas of our life.Within this book, Davis tackles 13 contemporary topics. Some of the topics includes the usual like reproductive technologies, divorce and remarriages, abortions, etc… As a pastor these will be topics that one day you need to discuss or wrestle with with your congregation.Unlike most books, Davis does not give readers a direct answer to their questions. Rather, David wants the readers to examine the questions historically, biblical and applicationally. He takes readers through the historical trends of each topics, then he examines the relevant pages of the bible and makes his observations and interpretation clear to his readers. Next, he comes to the topic at hand and gives his thoughts on it. Throughout the book, I felt that Davis was able to present the topics and his thoughts clearly, but not impose his conclusions onto the readers. I was clearly given the opportunity to think through the topic myself and come to a conclusion based on what I thought was biblical.Pastors, especially those living in the united states will benefit most from this book since this was written from that perspective, and primarily for christians living in those settings. However, this book can still be useful for pastors living elsewhere as they provide clear starting points for pastors who are beginning to think about these issues.Rating: 4 / 5Disclaimer: I was given this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review
