Publisher's Synopsis
Christian Ethics and the Ethics of Christ is a book written by Frances Power Cobbe that explores the relationship between traditional Christian ethics and the teachings of Jesus Christ. Cobbe argues that many Christians have lost sight of the true essence of Christ's teachings and have instead focused on legalistic and dogmatic interpretations of the Bible.The book is divided into two parts. The first part examines the history of Christian ethics and how it has evolved over time. Cobbe discusses the role of the Church in shaping ethical beliefs and the impact of various philosophical movements on Christian thought.In the second part of the book, Cobbe delves into the teachings of Jesus Christ and how they can be applied to contemporary ethical issues. She argues that Christ's teachings emphasize love, compassion, and social justice, and that these principles should guide our ethical decision-making.Throughout the book, Cobbe draws on a variety of sources, including the Bible, historical texts, and contemporary thinkers. She also provides numerous examples of how Christian ethics and the ethics of Christ can be applied in real-world situations.Overall, Christian Ethics and the Ethics of Christ is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the intersection between religion and ethics. It challenges readers to re-examine their own ethical beliefs and to consider how they can better align their actions with the teachings of Jesus Christ.THIS 50 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Studies New and Old of Ethical and Social Subjects, by Frances Power Cobbe.
