Situation Ethics Modern Christian middle way between 1) Antinomianism – complete freedom from observing any moral law 2) Legalsim – excessive adherence to law Forges a way that is based on AGAPE love

Four Pillars of Situation Ethics Use handouts to explain each of these… Pragmatism Relativism Positivism Personalism Extension – Which of these is more important and why? Extension – Agape notes

Situation Ethics Can a theory that rests on agape really be workable? Potential problems – discussion “Justice is love distributed.” What does this mean?
