Ethics Lecture

It has become clear to me since 2016 that the evangelical church urgently needs to address a weakness in its theology directly related to Christian ethics. The inability to properly calibrate human evil into lesser and greater categories has resulted in the odd spectacle of prominent atheists often displaying greater levels of ethical reasoning than many self-proclaimed high profile Evangelical leaders.

This slide show captures a lecture I gave to some Cameroonian theological students in 2019. At some point I intend to convert it into a Youtube lecture but for now the slides themselves at least give an outline of my main thesis: we must as Christians abandon the Pharisaical habit of straining gnats while swallowing camels and once again exercise our minds before God in working out how to respond to the many ethical challenges that face our post modern world.
