R. Scott Smith 
In Search of Moral Knowledge [EPUB ebook] 
Overcoming the Fact-Value Dichotomy

Support

For most of the church's history, people have seen Christian ethics as normative and universally applicable. Recently, however, this view has been lost, thanks to naturalism and relativism. R. Scott Smith argues that Christians need to overcome Kant's fact-value dichotomy and recover the possibility of genuine moral and theological knowledge.
