Choose Better, Five Biblical Models for Making Ethical Decisions

How do we know if we’re making the best choices possible? Over the centuries, Christians in different traditions have distilled scriptural guidance into five models for ethical decision-making. Memorable and biblical, profound and practical, these models give us clear questions to ask in every situation. They help us not only to improve our own choices but to better understand the choices of fellow believers—especially when they differ from ours. Honed over years of teaching and supplemented by discussion questions, the contents of this short book will equip you to think biblically and choose better.

“My first exposure to Dr. Gordon’s five models was in the late 1990s when he taught the material in adult Sunday School in the church I planted, Amoskeag Presbyterian Church. I was impressed with the biblical breadth of his ethical proposal. The Reformed find an emphasis on the law to be a refreshingly concrete guide to the Christian life—but it is not the only guide. Gordon’s five models capture the nuances of biblical ethics and thus provide a significant aid to Christian pilgrims.” Gregory Edward Reynolds, Author; Editor, Ordained Servant
