Finishing up the presentation on the Prophetic Ethics (Woke Theology), we cover the method of the movement. Here, there’s a call for a new social justice Monastic period. One that acknowledges the racism of America and embrace MLK’s call to redeem society and Bonhoeffer’s finding power in a Black Jesus.

We start the response of our third Christian ethical system by having the Virtue Ethics responding to Divine Command Ethics. Here, our V.E. fellow has many good things to say about the D.C. fellow. Three minor issues that could use some shoring up but a major one is leveled. Do you think this knocks out Divine Command Ethics from contention?

Welcome to episode 300! Thank you to everyone who has watched/listened and joining our book club with us. We appreciate you all.

This week we introduce defining Divine Command Ethics. While it seems a simple thing to define, one must take into account things like rightness vs. goodness in morality, what are commands in ethics, how proper authority is established, and if moral obligations play a part in any of it.

We kick off the second critique by looking at the Virtue Ethics critique of Natural Law Ethics. Here, it seems, that our proponent of Virtue Ethics likes the presentation of Natural Law but gives a couple of critiques to help strengthen the position. Come on!

Now that we’ve introduced Natural Law into our possible options for the explanation of Christian ethics we look at what the chief end of man in Natural Law is. If Natural Law is baked into our nature, how should we go about living and what about making actual choices? Is there only one right way. Here’s a question too – would Natural Law be right if God didn’t exist?

This week we introduce the Natural Law ethics perspective. Defining Natural Law helps define what humanity is. Proponents view the law of nature embedded in humanity that defines who we are and what we are to do.
