Link: Glenn Peoples on "Why a Christian should accept a Divine Command Theory, part 1"

/

Over at Glenn Peoples's website, Right Reason, you can find an excellent post explaining why Christians should accept a divine command theory of ethics. In this essay, Peoples discusses the phenomenology of moral obligations and  suggests that our most clearly held moral beliefs are best explained by a divine command theory. It's a sharp and engaging piece of writing— well worth your time. Photo: "Ten Commandments, St. John's College, Cambridge" by Steve Day. CC License.
