Christian Ethics
Jonathan Tran, Wylin D. Wilson
Description from DukeHub
The course enables students to understand the biblical, theological, liturgical and ecclesial resources that shape Christian moral formation and ethical decision-making; formulate approaches to assessing moral problems in theologically grounded ways; identify and deploy some established methods of analysis drawn from moral theology and philosophy to assess key moral questions; compare and contrast theological modes of ethical analysis with some major alternative contemporary approaches; analyze and critically reflect on their own process of moral reasoning and conduct; relate Christian ethics to practices of individual and communal discipleship, holiness, and moral formation; and situate Christian moral reflection within broader social, political, and economic dynamics.
