Methods of Moral Decision Making REL 330 Christian Morality Acquisition of Christian Based Ethical Truth comes from: 1. Written Revelation – the Bible 2. Natural Law · Human reason is capable of divine ethical truth. · Human kind made in the image of God is therefore capable of understanding ethical standards revealed in nature. · Natural tendency for self-preservation, avoidance of pain, defense of children. 3. The Church - A. Narrative component : Stories and images, B. Normative component: Rules/guidelines C. Church functions to assist with character development by teaching, through community, and imagination (raises to new acute awareness & understanding) How we decide is a matter of style: Rule-Based or Deontological Theories of Ethics (Rule or duty based) A. Divine Command/Absolutism – Our behavior, actions and moral decisions are based on God’s will. How do we determine the will of God? Based on our experience of God and our understanding of the nature of God. God is good. We need an understanding of what the Good is. Do we follow God’s command out of fear or out of love?

Critical Realism- is a method thatasserts that our knowledge of the world refers to the-way-things-really-are, but in a partial fashion which will necessarily be revised as that knowledge develops. Critical Realism attempts to find the real good through dialogue and reason between the ideal rule or norm and the reality of the present world. Teleological or goal-based theories of Ethical Reasoning- (Also known as consequentialism) A. Ethical Egoism- a moral act is what benefits me. B. Utilitarianism- a moral act is what causes the greatest amount of happiness for the most people concerned, i.e., · Right actions are those with best consequences. · In assessing “best consequences” the amount of happiness or unhappiness caused is the only relevant consideration. · Each person’s welfare is equally important C.
