Synopsis

Why Christian morality begins with God

Where do our ethics come from? Are they based on unchanging realities or subject to revision as human culture develops and changes? What distinguishes Christian ethics from other moral claims? And how can Christians engage these questions with clarity and confidence--without either abandoning their convictions or abandoning the conversation?

In Giver of All Good, Chase R. Kuhn argues that the answer begins not with ourselves--our feelings, our culture, our moral intuitions--but with God. What we believe about God shapes how we live. Our theology guides our ethics. And when we begin with God as he reveals himself in Scripture, we have a foundation for moral reasoning that doesn't shift with the cultural moment.

Kuhn walks readers through a Trinitarian basis for Christian ethics--encountering God as he has actually given himself to us:
● The Father--as the giver of all good, whose character and gifts establish the moral order of creation
● The Son--whose gift of himself meets our deepest moral need, not simply forgiving us but reorienting us toward the good
● The Spirit--whose life brings true freedom, making the Christian life not a burden of rules but an expression of who we are becoming

Written at a level accessible to any Christian, Giver of All Good equips readers with a coherent, God-centered framework for navigating the moral questions of everyday life--in their relationships, their communities, and a culture where moral claims feel increasingly unstable. When we begin with God rather than ourselves, we can be confident in our daily decision-making and our interactions with other people.

Christian ethics don't begin with us. They begin with the God who is the giver of all good--and who has given us everything we need to live well.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Why Christian morality begins with God

Where do our ethics come from? Are they based on unchanging realities or subject to revision as human culture develops and changes? What distinguishes Christian ethics from other moral claims? In Giver of All Good, Chase R. Kuhn argues that Christian morality begins with the character of God: Only by knowing the Creator can we see ourselves and our world properly.

Recognizing that what we believe informs how we live, Kuhn asserts that our theology guides our ethics. By beginning at the beginning, with God as he reveals himself in the Bible, we can best make sense of life. In this book, Kuhn walks us through a triune basis for Christian ethics, as we encounter the Father's gift of his Son to meet our deepest moral need and experience true freedom through the life his Spirit brings.

Giver of All Good shows that when we begin with God rather than ourselves in forming our ethics, we can be confident in our daily decision-making and our interactions with other people.
