Christian ethics

BIBLICALLY CORRECT:
APPLYING RELIGIOUS PRINCIPLES IN THE REAL WORLD
—TRAINING CHRISTIANS FOR TOUGH CHOICES
Dr. Paul Manuel—2002

The following study was one of the most engaging and entertaining I have taught. Unfortunately, it was also one of the most demanding of student participation. Consequently, I was not able to go as far as I had hoped. ....I was able to cover the practice cases but not move on to current problems. I had hoped to return to it one day, perhaps with a different study group but, alas, that was not to be. What I did manage to complete can stand alone....

(This study is lengthy so I have not reproduced it on this site. It can be downloaded as a pdf here. The Table of Contents is below.)

Relevant and civil comments are welcome. Whether there will be any response depends on whether Dr. Manuel notices them and has the time and inclination to respond or, if not, whether I feel competent to do so.
