Product Information

Is there a morality that shows us how to survive as a humane community? Can we know what God expects of the human family? Is there a morality for ordinary people? In this book, the author of Sex for Christians and Love within Limits explores the way to moral sanity amid the confusions and crises of contemporary life. We do not, says Smedes, have a "moral map" to mark out the details of our route in advance, but neither are we left to grope and improvise at every step. The focus of Smedes's study is the commandments -- in particular those five of the Ten Commandments which call us to respect other persons: "Honor your father and mother"; "You shall not kill"; "You shall not commit adultery"; "You shall not steal"; "You shall not bear false witness." Each of these commandments pinpoints the moral nucleus of one sector of life in community -- family, marriage, property, communication, and the preservation of life itself. Using these commandments as a basis, Smedes asks three questions: What does God command us to do? Why does he command this? And how can we obey this in the ambiguities and conflicts of real life? Smedes answers the first question by extracting the simple meaning of the commands. He probes answers to the second question -- why? -- on the premise that a reasonable Creator commands his creatures only to be what they are and to act in ways that fit their nature as human beings in community. "Moral norms are not alien," claims Smedes, "they conform to our being." It is in answering how to obey these commandments in ordinary life that Smedes moves from the ancient words at Sinai to the troubled twentieth-century context in which we live. This is not always an easy task. The commandment may signal a clear moral direction, but determining whether and how its absolute fits into each new situation will require patient common sense, tough-minded reason, and devout faith. Such painful struggles, for which Smedes provides eloquent guidance are at the core of responsible moral living.

Reviews
Booklist "[Smedes'] honest and candid discussions of these knotty contemporary problems make  Mere Morality  an excellent selection for group study of the Commandments. A valuable addition to church and public library collections." Journal of Psychology and Christianity "This book will be a valuable textbook in ethics. It is clear, readable, honest, and practical. . . It is a thoroughly biblical book and includes discussion questions with each chapter. Very useful, pleasant, stimulating." Clergy Journal "It is a book that can be highly recommended to concerned Christians who ask, 'What can I be doing to obey God in the movements and ambiguities of my ordinary life?" Religious Studies Review "An easily accessible and sensitive introduction to the moral life in contemporary society. . . Recommended for introductory courses in ethics, for laypersons, and for all interested in a refreshing and responsible attempt to bring traditional moral wisdom into conversation with contemporary realities."

Book arrived in decent condition, man it’s big too! The 60s was such a colorful era and I’ve had a Fallout kick recently so heck, why not? Decent price, arrived safe, and didn’t take too long at all. I’ll enjoy flipping through this, and when I buy more books in the series, this’ll probably be the seller I get them from
