Delivered at Christ College in 1991, these lectures by Dr. Bahnsen cover the scope of ethics, from its foundational concepts, to a critique of non-Christian ethical systems, through a discussion of the purpose of our conduct, the kind of people we should be, the norms by which we must live and many of the practical (and difficult) moral issues which arise today.
