Abstract:
"Ours is a time of moral crisis. Are evangelical Christians up to the task of contributing to the present ethical debates? All too often the evangelical church has relied on protest over persuasion, laments author J. Daryl Charles. The results of its public witness within American society have not been encouraging. What is lacking, argues Charles, is a biblically based and theologically informed vision that can ground the moral education that should take place in the church and its institutions of higher education.".
"The Unformed Conscience of Evangelicalism stands to fill this gap by reminding the evangelical church of its biblical and theological foundations for forming a unified personal and social ethic. After outlining the contours of such a moral vision, Charles issues a wake-up call for evangelicals to once again draw on the resources of the church's Great Tradition and to reconfigure their priorities to serve the moral formation of the saints, their pastors, leaders and members. But more than this, Charles offers practical direction as to how seminaries, Christian colleges and individual congregations might go about shaping the character and conscience of the evangelical church."--BOOK JACKET.
