Puritan Board Freshman
I have an upcoming Intro. to Ethics course that I involves me reading "The Ethical Imagination: Journeys of the Human Spirit by Margaret Somerville". I have ordered it and it's in the mail, but I also came across the lectures here, from where I believe her book was first presented.
I have listened to most of it by now and it seems to be promoting a sort of ethical ecumenicalism or an "ethics tumble dryer" as she said. She is Catholic, but does not even like to use "religious" language when speaking of ethics and wants to promoted a "shared ethics" which comes from the "human spirit".
The professor of the course posted this article on the seminary's website about a week ago.
I am aware that my seminary is liberal, but seeing that I am totally new to ethics (Christian in particular), I would like to know of the precautions that I should take when ingesting this material, especially the idea of Christians working together with non-Christians in ethical matters.
In Christ,
