Strange Virtues: Ethics in a Multicultural World (Used Copy)

Description

Theologian and veteran missionary Bernard Adeney addresses in-depth what may be the stickiest crosscultural communication problem of our day: differing approaches to morality.

In this comprehensive treatment, he considers ethics across cultures, addresses the ethical import of other religions and gender relations, explores how the Bible and culture interact to produce ethical stances, and includes particular case studies. Strange Virtues will benefit not only missionaries, ethicists and students, but all Christians who want to better understand their neighbors here at home.

Written by a theologian and veteran missionary, this book is one of the first to address in depth what may be the stickiest crosscultural communication problem–differing approaches to morality. Comprehensively, Adeney considers ethics across cultures, addresses the ethical import of other religions and gender relations, and explores how the Bible and culture interact to produce ethical stances.
