An innovative look at themes in Christian ethics and a practical guide to how Christians can bridge the often too wide gap between what they claim to be and what they do.
How do we go about deciding what it is we ought to do or not do? At any given moment in our lives, how do we determine what is right and wrong? These are some of the key questions raised and answered in my timely and insightful book — “What Must I Do?:” Bridging the Gap Between Being and Doing. Some of the critical issues affecting our conflicted times are explored such as racism, sexism, political assassinations, suicide and euthanasia, and gays/lesbians issues.
Excerpt
It would seem that in a religious heritage in which war and the stuff of doing have been prominent themes, the question of whether or not we ought to act would be moot and our time and energy devoted to ascertaining what action we should take. The excerpt from the soliloquy by Hamlet represents an agony experienced by many Christians every day who are faced with problems requiring an ethical response. Should we act? If so, when should we act? In what manner ought we to act? These are but a few of the questions that confound the religious sensibilities.
