On Teaching and Learning Christian Ethics

"On Teaching and Learning Christian Ethics" delves into the complexities of ethical education by comparing the perspectives of Henry Sidgwick and F. D. Maurice. While Sidgwick emphasizes methodical guidance toward correct actions, Maurice argues for a broader understanding of ethics rooted in a metaphysical and theological context, as informed by Aquinas's concept of "infusing of virtue." The work advocates for a holistic approach to ethics, suggesting that moral life is a gift rather than merely an achievement, ultimately offering a compelling case for rethinking how ethics is taught.
