Christian morality is synonymous with life in Christ. We are to love God with our whole being and to love others as Jesus loves us, because God created all of us in his image and wants us to love one another as he loves us. The Christian moral life is defined by being in loving relationships and by living our lives in response to the teachings of Jesus. The collection of readings in Christian Moral Life: A Primary Source Reader aims to help students learn the moral concepts and teachings that will guide them to live their lives as disciples of Christ.
