Situationism And Law In Christian Ethics, Paul Jersild
Situationism And Law In Christian Ethics, Paul Jersild
Concordia Theological Monthly
Our purpose in these pages is to focus on the question of law in Christian ethics and consider in what sense we can speak of the "law of God." This question is raised in a quite critical manner in situation ethics, and for that reason we shall discuss the subject in relation to this approach, and particularly in relation to the work of Joseph Fletcher. Our concern is to present a theological basis for the law-a basis that is notably lacking in situation ethics - and seek to clarify the relationship between love and law in the Christian understanding.
Freedom In Christ-Gift And Demand, Edgar Krentz
Freedom In Christ-Gift And Demand, Edgar Krentz
Concordia Theological Monthly
"Freedom," a word we often hear and a concept we highly prize, is surprisingly rare in the New Testament. A rapid survey of the words eleutheria, eleutheria, and eleutheros in a concordance will show that in any sense other than the sociological (free man as opposed to slave) the term is practically confined to Paul. He is the only one to use freedom consistently in a religious sense.
