Mark C. Murphy

God and Moral Law: On the Theistic Explanation of Morality

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Does God's existence make a difference to how we explain morality? Mark C. Murphy critiques the two dominant theistic accounts of morality¿natural law theory and divine command theory¿and presents a novel third view. He argues that we can value natural facts about humans and their good, while keeping God at the centre of our moral explanations.
