This course deals with ethics from a biblical, a philosophical, and a practical (issues) perspective.

Part 1 deals with the question how the Bible should be used in ethics and looks at the major themes in Old and New testament ethics.

Part 2 deals with the philosophical theories of ethics and compares and evaluates these in the light of the biblical material.

In part 3 students can choose two ethical issues for study using the tools learned in biblical and philosophical ethics.
