christian ethics

Beginning by employing image-with-story and by outlining a method for using scripture in ethical decision making, Fischer moves from the image to the real conflict that defines a life situation or scripture story. He then addresses finding the faith and the community of support for the leap in the dark that expresses faith. This, he claims, will culminate in discovering the person--God and oneself--revealed in the process of comparing biblical story and our own story. Fischer avoids a naive or doctrinaire approach to scripture, instead offering an open-minded exploration of concrete examples from everyday life.
