"Despite the fact that these essays were written over several decades, they articulate a consistent idea: Without the Bible, there is no possibility of ethical knowledge or action. It is God's Word, and God's Word alone, that establishes right and wrong. In the history of philosophy many attempts have been made to construct ethical systems apart from revelation. All these attempts have failed, and Clark documents their failures. The Bible is the only source of truth about ethics that we have; Clark offers a clear and convincing defense of Christian ethics and politics."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
