J. Philip Wogaman understands the uncertainty surrounding most moral questions. He believes, however, that religious faith makes a difference in one’s ethics, that Christian character is fundamental to decision-making, and that it is possible to arrive at judgements on today’s complex moral problems in light of Christian faith. This book includes chapters on the centrality of moral character and virtue, as well as on the contribution of theology to ethics.
J. Philip Wogaman is Professor Emeritus of Christian Ethics at Wesley Theological Seminary, past President of the American Theological Society, past President of the Society of Christian Ethics, and past President of the Interfaith Alliance. He is the former Senior Pastor at Foundry United Methodist Church in Washington, DC, and is the author of many books, including Moral Dilemmas: An Introduction to Christian Ethics and What Christians Can Learn from Other Religions.
