Introduction
The following essays come from an attempt to
articulate an internally consistent set of descriptive
statements which point to fundamental principles of
Christian morality.
It is hoped that this set of descriptive statements
will stimulate discussions which will help diverse
Christians to find common ground in a coherent set of
moral principles and theological convictions which are
consistent with the known life and teachings of Jesus of
Nazareth.
