Reclaiming the Ethical High Ground:
Essential Resources

What will it take to reclaim the ethical high ground? Here is a starting point for you. It’s only as a starting point: for the purpose is not to read but to act, to do what will shine our light so that others may see our good works and glorify God (Matthew 5:16).

The Lost High Ground: Gaining a Grasp On the Issues

• unChristian: What a new generation really thinks about Christianity… and why it matters: the report of a research project conducted by Christians, describing how we have lost the high ground in the minds of 18-29 year olds.
• Moral Relativism
• Difficult reading (unpleasant, that is): One writer’s view of what he considers the “Nightmare of Christianity,” included here to represent those who see Christianity as being morally deficient or evil. Obviously I do not agree, but it’s important to be aware that this view is held by many.
