Continuing the unbroken conversation on ethics that has endured
across the Christian generations, David Oki Ahearn and Peter R.
Gathje present Doing Right and Being Good. For Ahearn and Gathje,
ethics is the critical reflection on morality, focusing on our
beliefs, our practices, our held values. In addition to the book's
wide-reaching selected readings, Ahearn and Gathje offer
introductions to each chapter which provide extensive overviews and
establish contexts for moral issues over which sincere Christians
differ. The authors examine two broad understandings of ethics:
that of doing right (understanding the difference between right and
wrong) and being good (specific personal traits). Acknowledging a
shared history between Protestant and Roman Catholic traditions,
this book takes both historical and ecumenical approaches to
ethics. Engaging, and informational, Doing Right and Being Good
aims at providing constructive reflection and dialogue to all
readers, regardless of background. Chapters are: "The Moral
Person," "Sources of Christian Ethics," "Interpretations of Love
and Justice," "Marriage, Family, and Sexuality," "Political Life
and the Problem of Violence," "Stewardship: Work, Property, and the
Environment," "Christian Love at the Margins of Life." David Oki
