The first four chapters of the book Christian ethics and contemporary moral problems have been read thoroughly for this assignment to write their reflections. After reading this book, I have acquired the ability to intelligently reflect ethical issues in the light of Scripture and church tradition. The reading of the first four chapters has also created familiarity with how Scripture can be used to address ethical issues in religion. The book also makes me familiar with the ethical approaches of and issues addressed by significant thinkers in church history (Banner, 1999).
