Ethics Minor (A)
With an emphasis on dialogue between Christian thought and secular philosophies, the Ethics minor explicitly upholds Concordia's mission by “helping students develop in mind, body, and spirit for service to Christ in the Church and the World.” Specifically, the Ethics minor examines questions about right and wrong, virtue and vice, what it means to live a good life and be a good and wise person, and how Christians can properly love God and neighbor in this morally complex world—thereby promoting intellectual and character development, self-knowledge for the student’s personal growth and well-being, and providing insights for thoroughly Christian action in the world.
