In this thorough update of a classic textbook, noted Christian thinker Norman Geisler evaluates contemporary ethical options and pressing issues of the day from a biblical perspective. 

"This book and its predecessor has been a standard work on Christian Ethics for nearly 40 years. This major revision contains a Bible-based and a well reason articulation of both the major ethical systems and a strong defense of moral absolutes in our relativistic age. Along with a complete update of the traditional chapters on every major ethical issue (including abortion, infanticide, war, capital punishment, biomedical issues, homosexuality, marriage, divorce, and ecology), this new edition contains sections on civil disobedience, sexual issues, animal rights, drugs, gambling, pornography, and birth control. There is nothing like it on the market." - Norman Geisler This book evaluates contemporary ethical options (such as antinomianism, situation ethics, and legalism) and pressing issues of the day (such as euthanasia, homosexuality, and divorce) from a biblical perspective. The second edition is significantly expanded and updated, with new material and charts throughout the book. There are new chapters on animal rights, sexual ethics, and the biblical basis for ethical decisions, as well as four new appendixes addressing drugs, gambling, pornography, and birth control. The author has significantly updated his discussion of abortion, biomedical ethics, war, and ecology and has expanded the selected readings, bibliography, and glossary.
