Summary: "Christianity and Ethics: A Handbook of Christian Ethics" by Archibald B. D. Alexander is a theological work written in the early 20th century. This handbook aims to present a concise yet comprehensive view of Christian moral principles and the religious dimensions of ethical conduct, emphasizing the significance of character and personality within the Christian ethical framework. It serves as an introduction for students and individuals interested in understanding the relationship between Christian faith and ethical behavior in contemporary society. The opening of the work begins with a preface that outlines its objective to explore the moral life from a Christian perspective, indicating that ethics must deal with the character-forming influences of Christianity. Alexander emphasizes the importance of integrating truth and duty, noting that Christian Ethics ought to illustrate how spiritual principles can effectively shape and guide both personal and social conduct. He also discusses the historical context of Christian Ethics, highlighting its evolution from philosophical foundations established during the Reformation and the crucial role of Jesus Christ and biblical teachings in forming a coherent moral system. The beginning sets the stage for a structured exploration of ethics, dividing the discourse into sections that discuss foundational postulates, human personality, and ethical conduct in light of the Christian doctrine.
