Christian Ethics And The Ethics Of Christ

By Frances Power Cobbe

Book Overview

Christian Ethics and the Ethics of Christ is a book written by Frances Power Cobbe, a prominent British social reformer, feminist, and philosopher of the 19th century. The book explores the differences and similarities between traditional Christian ethics and the ethics of Christ as presented in the New Testament. Cobbe argues that while Christian ethics have been largely influenced by the teachings of the church and its leaders, the ethics of Christ are rooted in the life and teachings of Jesus himself. She examines various ethical issues, such as the concept of sin, the role of forgiveness, and the nature of love, and compares the traditional Christian approach to these issues with the teachings of Jesus.The book also delves into the intersection of ethics and religion, and how the two can be integrated to create a more meaningful and compassionate society. Cobbe emphasizes the importance of living a life that is guided by the ethics of Christ, and how this can lead to a more just and equitable world.Overall, Christian Ethics and the Ethics of Christ is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the role of ethics in Christianity and how they can be applied to contemporary society.THIS 50 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Studies New and Old of Ethical and Social Subjects, by Frances Power Cobbe.
