He argues that true Christian ethics cannot be separated from the gospel of Jesus Christ, critiquing both moralistic and antinomian approaches that disconnect faith from moral reasoning. Dr. Patrick examines how the resurrection fundamentally changes our understanding of moral order and why secular approaches to ethics education, particularly in medical schools, fall short of creating truly ethical practitioners. 🎬 Watch the video version: https://youtu.be/YzCaSLAuYrc // LINKS // Website: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/ Podcast: https://doctorjohnpatrick.podbean.com/ Biblical Literacy Quiz: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/meaning-metaphor-and-allusion/ Recommended Reading list…
