What Does the Bible Teach about How to Live in Today's World? How should Christians live when the surrounding culture is increasingly hostile to Christian moral values? Granted, the Bible is our guide—but how can we know if we are interpreting it rightly with regard to ethical questions about wealth and poverty, marriage and divorce, birth control, abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality, ethical business practices, environmental stewardship, and dozens of other issues? And on a very practical level, how can we know God's will in the ordinary decisions of life? To address questions like these, Wayne Grudem, author of the bestselling book Systematic Theology, draws on 40 years of teaching classes in ethics to write this wide-ranging introduction to biblical moral reasoning, organized according to the structure of the Ten Commandments. He issues a challenging call for Christians to live lives of personal holiness and offers a vision of the Christian life that is full of joy and blessing through living each day in a way that is pleasing to God. Written by Wayne Grudem: Bestselling author of Systematic Theology and the What the Bible Says About series Biblical and Applicable: Teaches readers how to protect 7 central tenets of God's law: God's honor, human authority, life, marriage, property, truth, and purity of heart Accessible: An ideal textbook for Christian college and seminary ethics classes, with straightforward language and a bibliography for the topic at the end of each chapter Replaces ISBN 978-1-4335-4965-6

Business Ethics Today: Foundations is an anthology produced from a Business Ethics Conference which took place in June, 2010. Underlying the Conference and this text is the belief that the Protestant Reformation created a culture for business that is fundamental to the commercial world as we know it today. As a society moves away from the acceptance of Christianity, the principles arising from this culture are at risk. Foundations enables a reflection on the core beliefs as articulated in the Westminster Confession of Faith and their impact on doing business. Men like Peter Lillback, Chuck Colson, Wayne Grudem, and Philip Ryken have each written chapters engaging in these important discussions in Business Ethics. With these men and many others, Foundations is a must read for anyone passionate about doing business in God's world.

This book is a collection drawn from over three hundred and ninety of my magazine and website articles synthesizing early and modern Christianity, extracted from writings by or about Christians who flourished prior to the Decian Persecution and mass apostasy of AD 249–251. The subject matter is New Testament and other Christian statements on ethics before AD 250, and their applicability to the twenty-first century. Some of these articles have been published more than once, by more than one Christian communion, and in more than one country. They vary in length from a few hundred words to over four thousand. This book does not discuss moral theories or frameworks, but presents concrete practice of specific principles, commandments, and prohibitions.

Patrick Nullens and Ronald T. Michener seek to revitalize Christian ethics through an integrative approach to classical ethics. Their matrix of consequential, principle, virtue and value ethics provides an alternative to postmodern situation ethics and brings the framework of biblical wisdom to bear on contemporary ethical questions.
