 Christian action and on the principles, derived from the Christian faith, by which to act. It is at the point of a multitude of decisions about what to do or what not to do - how to do right and how to avoid doing what a Christian ought not to do - that the daily strains of living are most acute. Though there can be no exact blueprint by which to settle all these dilemmas, there is light to be seen from the Bible.
 Is adultery right or wrong? Are double-dealing and dishonesty to be condoned in business and politics? Ought children to be starved in body, mind, or soul? Christians have no doubt as to the answer, though how to carry out the implications of the answer may not be simple. Even on such matters as race relations and war, the Christian conscience has spoken in our time with an amazing degree of unanimity as to principle. And if principles can be agreed upon, the groundwork is laid for action.

 The term "Christian ethics," means a systematic study of the way of life exemplified and taught by Jesus, applied to the manifold problems and decisions of human existence.
