Making Choices Practical Wisdom for Everyday Moral Decisions
Peter Kreeft (Servant Publications: May, 1990), 218 pages.
Peter Kreeft has written a great little book for all those who are
tired of hearing 'it's not so black and white'. Kreeft does an
excellent job of explaining, simply and clearly, that right and wrong
are objective - regardless of whether or not it is easy or makes
someone happy. Kreeft also clears up some moral misconceptions like 'if
it doesn't hurt anyone else, then it's ok' and 'the end justifies the
means'. Also included in this book is an excellent discussion,
scientifically based, on why abortion is objectively wrong (such as the
fact that science has always defined a fetus as another human life,
science has never been able to come up with a concrete time limit on
so-called viability, and that a fetus has a distinct human genetic code
that is separate from it's mother's). While
in reading this book Kreeft does spend some time talking about God and
his Christian faith, his arguments are philosophically and
scientifically sound across the religious spectrum. Regardless of a
reader's religion/athiesm, Kreeft's logic applies. While Kreeft argues
that morality comes from God, he also demonstrates that one need not
know that or believe in God to understand and use objective morals. ~ Tammy L. Schilling
