Description

Opens up a way forward for Christian ethics in the public sphere Too often, says Nigel Biggar, contemporary Christian ethics poses a false choice -- either -conservative- theological integrity or -liberal- secular consensus. Behaving in Public explains both why and how Christians should resist these polar options. Informed by a frankly Christian theological vision of moral life and so turning toward the world with openness and curiosity, Biggar's succinct argument charts a third way forward.
