Rating:  - A Review of "Moral Choices: An Introduction to Ethics" by Scott B. Rae
Moral Choices: An Introduction to Ethics is written by Scott B. Rae. Dr Rae currently teaches at Talbot School of Theology as an associate professor of biblical studies and Christian ethics.
The book in review is a terrific introduction to the discipline of ethics. The author's purpose for writing the book serves to inform the reader in brevity of all the areas that make up ethics. Dr. Rae's thesis is essentially answered in the question, "Why be moral?" He contends that if the reader ... Read More

Rating: - Great Christian introduction to ethics

Moreland on the book; needless to say these are some of the most learned men in the Christian intellectual world. The book is about ethics (the process of determining right and wrong) and morality (the actual content of right and wrong). Scott B. Rae, in addition to being an academic ethicist (and a Christian committed to Scripture), serves on several California ... Read More
