Episode 186 | VFL Reads: We Need Good Protestant Ethicists

Autumn and Hunter respond to two articles, We Need Good Protestant Ethicists by Carl Trueman and The need for Protestant Ethicists: A Response to Carl Trueman by Matthew Arbo, at the suggestion of a listener. We all have a way of viewing the world, the nature of the physical world, the nature of humanity, and deity. We call this our “worldview.” Ethics addresses how our worldview should be lived out, particularly regarding all the practical questions of life. For Christians, the discipline of ethics helps us apply a biblical framework to the practical matters that aren’t directly addressed in the Bible. Trueman and Arbo discuss the need within Protestantism for theologically rooted ethicists whose comprehensive approach to matters such as in-vitro fertilization and artificial intelligence can help Christians navigate these complex issues.
