The Christian moral life

A reverent look at Christian ethics rooted in prayer, worship, and service. What does it mean to live morally today? How do the Ten Commandments inform everyday life? This encouraging new book introduces Christian ethics by showing readers that faithful moral living is achieved through the daily "practice of piety." Timothy Sedgwick explores the foundations of Christian ethics, as seen by both Catholics and Protestants, and develops a constructive view of morality as a way of life. Taking into account the central themes of Christian ethics, Sedgwick shows how effective piety is built on spiritual disciplines that deepen our experience of God: prayer, worship, self-examination, simplicity, and acts of hospitality. -- Pulisher's description.
