The Unformed Conscience of Evangelicalism - Recovering the Church’s Moral Vision
In this book the Author takes an in-depth look at the state of Evangelicalism and Christianity as a whole on the subject of Moral and Ethical Issues within the Church. He handles the most avoided topics of vice and virtue, and sets out to discover why the evangelical conscious is mostly unformed and suggest we need improvement on responsible moral, ethical and doctrinal thinking.
The Author J. Daryl Charles cites that the Church has moved from a biblical model of Christian teaching to a Therapeutic model. He mentions modern psychology’s infusion into the Church as contributing to the breakdown of moral and ethical standards that have long been held by the Christian Church.
In each chapter several words, such as Freedom, justice, etc. are examined in the light of Scripture and their meanings. He stresses the need for a good foundation of doctrine and a knowledge of Christian theology is needed in the Christian’s life to counteract error. This book was enjoyable to read and thought provoking.
