Originally delivered as the John Albert Hall Lectures in 1999,
these essays examine the relationship between the secular view of
human nature and Christian views of human nature. Having done so,
the essays go on to explore the ways that the differences between
the two views affect the ethics that inform both Christian activity
and non-Christian activity. The author sets out first to identify
characteristics that distinguish Christian ethics from secular
ethics in a world that commonly sees itself as having adopted
Christian ethics. Second, Penelhum analyzes the understanding of
human nature that is implied by Christian ethics. Third, he
identifies the ways that the Christian view of human nature
responds to other religions' views of human nature. Finally, he
identifies how the Christian view of human nature ought to be
affected by the recognition that human nature is a part of Nature
as a whole. Throughout the book, Penelhum places Christian ethics
in dialogue with science, psychology, and religious pluralism in an
engaging and highly productive way. Terence Penelhum is Professor
Emeritus in the Department of Religious Studies at the University
of Calgary. He is the author of God and Skepticism.
