- Christian ethics
- jesus
- love is the main teaching of jesus
- love is central between god and others "love god and love your neighbour as yourself
- jesus's sermon on the mount shows moral teachings and how to put them into practise
- eg luke's gospel shows how it can be put into practice by helping the poor and unfortunate
- conscience
- not a feeling/voice of god within but reason and judgement
- can be mistaken so needs to be well educated
- for the quakers conscience is an inner light which god used to guide them
- st paul
- asks christians to interpret jesus' teachings and put them into practise in everyday life eg kindness and generosity
- teaches that community should be bound by love
- no concern with changing society as a whole as god would soon come and establish his kingdom
- situation ethics
- what is the most loving thing to do
- the church
- not a building but an institution of teaching inspired by god
- catholic church=the oldest
- interprets the bible, building up a mass amount of tradition and teachings on a range of ethical issues
- no single approach there is alot of variation
- things like the bible, natural law and situation ethics are used to make an ethical decision
- some laws from the bible still stand eg the 10 commandments
- christian denominations focus on biblical teachings that fit their own beliefs
- jesus
