An introduction to African Christian ethics for Christian colleges and Bible schools.
African Christian Ethics is divided into two main parts. The first deals with the theory of ethics, while the second discusses practical issues. The issues are grouped into the following six sections:
- Socio-Political Issues
- Financial Issues
- Marriage Issues
- Sexual Issues
- Medical Issues
- Religious Issues
Each of these six section begins with a brief general introduction, followed by the chapters dealing with specific issues in that area. Each chapter begins with an introduction, discusses traditional African thinking on the issue, presents an analysis of relevant biblical material, and concludes with some recommendations.
There are questions at the end of each chapter for discussion or personal reflection, often asking students to reflect on how the discussion in the chapter applies to their ministry situation.
This introduction to African Christian ethics covers the theory of ethics and discusses practical issues, such as socio-political issues, financial issues, marriage issues, religious issues, and more. Each section begins with a brief general introduction, followed by the chapters dealing with specific issues.
Dr. Kunhiyop combines a broad knowledge of African and Western moral traditions with sound biblical scholarship and critical analysis. He thus writes with deep conviction, moral confidence and authority.
