Omschrijving
Does God's existence make a difference to how we explain morality? Mark C. Murphy critiques the two dominant theistic accounts of morality--natural law theory and divine command theory--and presents a novel third view. He argues that we can value natural facts about humans and their good, while keeping God at the centre of our moral explanations.
meticulously argued . . .
[an] interesting book . . . the possibility that it raises of an option beyond natural law and divine command ethics is surely worth further exploration. For that alone this book is well worth reading.
