Arguing from scripture is one of the ways that Christians test
their moral judgments. But are all methods of appealing to the
Bible equally valid and effective? In this book Charles Cosgrove
looks at the churchs long tradition of moral debate and analyzes
five important hermeneutical rules that guide contemporary use of
scripture in ethical argument.
After introducing the nature of moral arguments generally,
Cosgrove devotes one chapter to each of the five rules of biblical
interpretation that make ethical appeals to scripture persuasive.
He sets forth each rule's rationale, provides examples of its
operation, and subjects it to critique.
Based not only on the work of biblical scholars and Christian
ethicists but also on Cosgrove's own experience with debates in
classrooms, churches, and other Christian contexts, this volume is
a valuable aid to readers who employ moral reasoning in real-life
settings.
