Serious, well-thought out answers to the moral and ethical problems of our culture from an evangelical perspective are hard to come by. So Ethics for a Brave New World, by Paul and John Feinberg, is a welcome breath of fresh air. A comprehensive look at several of the major ethical issues confronting our society, this book is a reasonable and rational look at how Scripture can (and must) inform ethical decisions, even in our 'Brave New World'.
The title for this book comes from a line in Shakespeare's The Tempest, and from Aldous Huxley's frightening future vision Brave New World. Both offer a fitting description of our exciting and scary times, and this book offers serious seekers valuable information about how to make proper moral and ethical decisions. Issues discussed include: moral decision-making, abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment, sexual morality, birth control, homosexuality, genetic engineering, divorce and remarriage, Christian faith in a nuclear age, and the Christian and the secular state.
Extensively documented (sixty pages of endnotes) and indexed by both subject and Scripture passage, Ethics for a Brave New World is a great reference tool. But is much more than simply a reference tool, because it came out of ethical struggles faced by the authors. They are able to project empathy and hope, while offering practical, real-life solutions to problems they have already gone through.
So whether you are struggling to find the answers to our culture's ethical questions, or whether you think you know the answersalready, you need to read this book. Its one of the best comprehensive evangelical critiques of ethics and society available, and it truly has the potential to transform morality in our culture.
