Paul Dubuc presents an interesting description of different
value systems and their relation to the Bible and Christian 
theology. I think that the important issue here, though, is
not what value systems are the most valid by virtue of their
consistency with scripture, but rather how we can determine
the value of scripture in the first place. If someone already 
believes in the divine origon of the Bible, then it makes 
sense to ask what moral systems are compatible with it, but
I personally would rather ask how we can justify our belief
in the divine origin of the Bible in the first place...
