Chapter 1: A Christian Ethic For Business
Chapter 1, “A Christian Ethic for Business”
Explain briefly each of the three biblical concepts in Hill “that have a direct bearing on ethical decision-making” and are “repeatedly emphasized in the Bible.”
The three biblical concepts in Hill that have a direct bearing on ethical decision making and are repeatedly emphasized in the bible are “God is Holy”, “God is Just” and “God loving”. All three are needed for equal measurement and all three contain a vital ethical ingredient “hill compares these to the skeleton, muscles and the skin”. Therefore within every ethical decision that is made requires all characteristics to be taken into account. Holiness, when untethered from justice and love it drifts into hypercritical legalism. If justice loses its anchor in holiness and love it will produce harsh outcomes.
