In ET101 Law and Gospel: The Basis of Christian Ethics, Dr. Michael Allen illustrates how the ethical life, the good life, and the moral life are reshaped and reoriented in light of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This course analyzes a variety of Old Testament, New Testament, and other theological sources to illustrate the ethical life the Christian is called to live. Dr. Allen offers a helpful explanation of how both grace and law work together in Christian ethics, providing biblical examples from the Ten Commandments and the writings of Paul and James.
