Theological Ethics

Theology

“Thielicke comes to grips with the dilemma at the heart of modern ethics: how we, in the absence of any commonly recognized authority, Christian or otherwise, can find trustworthy guidelines.... The echoes of Bonhoeffer are heard precisely in the conviction that moral decision can be made only in the world, in worldly conflict, and not in the security of institutions and sacred traditions.”
