Synopsis

As a culture we are in an ethical mess because we’ve neglected moral training and education. This book proposes that there is such a thing as moral truth, that it can be known, and that it can be put into practice in a person’s life and in society more broadly. Looking specifically at the areas of medicine, the marketplace, public life, education, and the family, author Scott B. Rae shows how foundational ethical principles can guide readers into moral day-to-day decisions. Informed by Scripture and calling for a greater reliance on the Holy Spirit, Rae’s book issues a call for cultivated virtue that can bring about both better lives and a better society.

The book Doing the Right Thing (2013) was authored by Scott Rae, though it was supposed to be authored by Chuck Colson.
