Pierce turns to scripture, offering illustrations from life along the way, to provide ministers with solid biblical direction and warning. He presents the broad spectrum of Christian ethics in three logical sections: The Basis for Christian Ethics- Scripture, Ethics and Church Doctrine, and Ethics in Practical Ministry. In doing so, Pierce gives church leaders a defense of their ethics, charges them with personal ethical responsibility to the Church, and provides desperately needed insight into matters such as ministerial influence, spiritual leadership, relationships, money, sex, and moral failure.
