What defines Christian ethics?

Ethics are a demonstration of a person’s beliefs in action. Christian ethical teachings are founded on an understanding of who the human person is and the belief that every person is capable of discovering and embracing goodness and truth.

Christian ethical actions

are focused on maintaining

right relationship with God, one’s

neighbour and oneself. How do Christians determine what is right action?Christian Ethics HSC Focus Day 2010Slide4

Christian ethics

Christian ethical teachings are founded on FAITH and REASON, PHILOSOPHY and NATURAL LAW

Protestant Churches would emphasise the authority of the Bible. Anglican, Orthodox and Catholic ethical authority is also found through the Church leadership

the Pope, Archbishops, Bishops or Patriarchs .

What is the balance of these sources of teaching for adherents of Christianity?

Christian Ethics HSC Focus Day 2010Slide5

HSC Religious Tradition Depth Study Overview

The purpose of this section

is

to develop a comprehensive

view of religious traditions as living religious systems that link directly with the life of adherents…. In a Religious Tradition Depth Study, the particular focus is on the ways in which a religious tradition, as an integrated belief system provides a distinctive answer

to

the enduring questions

of

human existence

.

The study

of

a particular religious tradition enables

students

to demonstrate

an appreciation of the

diversity

of expression

within

, and

the

underlying unity

of,

the whole religious tradition

.
