What should we do? That is the question at the heart of the Christian life. Outlining the distinctive elements of Christian ethics, this fifth edition of Moral Choices reflects upon a variety of ethical issues to help readers decide what to do. In this new edition, author and Christian ethicist Scott Rae brings biblical thinking and Christian wisdom to bear upon many new, pressing ethical matters.

Moral questions are at the core of life’s most vital issues. But today, we are witnessing a breaking down of humanity’s ability to distinguish between right and wrong. Using case studies to address some of today’s most challenging ethical and social issues, Rae guides readers in thinking critically and biblically about issues, including:

• Abortion
• Sexual Ethics, including Transgenderism
• Technology, including Artificial Intelligence
• War
• Criminal Justice
• Social Media
• Economics
• Creation Care
• Race
• Immigration, Refugees, and Border Control
• Euthanasia
• Economics

With its unique union of theory and application and its well-organized, easy-to-use design, the fifth edition of Moral Choices also offers extensive updates, revisions, and new chapters all designed to help readers develop a sound basis for making ethical decisions in today’s complex postmodern culture.
