UNION TO OFFER CHRISTIAN ETHICS MAJOR/MINOR
Jackson, Tenn. — Beginning in the fall, students will have the option to major or minor in Christian ethics, the newest program in the Department of Christian Studies at 51ÉçÇø.
"There are many new and exciting developments within the Christian studies department," Dr. George Guthrie, assistant professor of Christian studies and department chair, said. "The new major and minor is designed for students who seek a greater understanding of the moral dimensions of Christian faith."
Those who choose this major and minor will have an opportunity to experience growth in Christian character as well as deeper knowledge of contemporary moral issues facing the church and the nation.
Dr. David P. Gushee, associate professor of Christian studies, will supervise the program. "Majors in Christian ethics will grow in critical thinking and research skills, preparing themselves either for further seminary or graduate study in ethics and related fields, or for a more thoughtful and informed approach to their Christian discipleship, church membership and citizenship," he said.
