Corporate scandals, cloning, and debates about war are recent reminders of the importance of ethics. Whether the topic is civil liberties, business ethics, medical technologies, or sexuality, we all have our opinions.

But what do we mean we use terms like rights, responsibility, negligence, good, bad, should, and ought? What basis is there for the ethical judgments we make? What role does Scripture paly, or law, love conscience, spirituality, or adiaphora?

J. Douma, an internationally known ethicist, guides us though these and other foundational issues in this thoughtful, balanced, informed discussion rooted in a Reformed confessional worldview.
