Absolutely positive

A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned starting a book by Norman Geisler (recently deceased) called Christian Ethics.  I am a few chapters into it now, and while it is very heavy, I find it interesting.  He begins by describing, in general, six ethical systems.  These systems are divided into two groups - nonabsolutisms and absolutisms.  Since, Christian Ethics are based on the unchanging moral character of God, the systems based on nonabsolutism are not options for Christians.   However, since those systems challenge the absolute Christian options, it is important for us to understand them.  The next few chapters will focus on the nonabsolutism systems - antinomianism, situationism and generalism.
