Publisher Notes
In our rapid-fire world, messages come at us from every direction and compete for our precious time. And if there is anything we want heard, it had better fit on a bumper sticker or in a five-second sound bite. So, as slogans like those above show, entire ethical systems are often squeezed into a few words. But it doesn't take too much thought to know we shouldn't stake important moral decisions on a bumper sticker. The problem is not that advice briefly given is necessarily wrong. It's that ideas have consequences, and there's a lot more to the ideas behind bumper sticker than the slogans themselves say. With never-failing clarity, Steve Wilkens unpacks the complicated ideas behind the bumper stickers. Here a reliable, insightful teacher lays out the basics of cultural relativism, emotivism, utilitarianism, situation ethics, deontology and the other moralities of the day, and suggests Christian evaluations of each.
