C. Berkeley Computer Science Lines: 13 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...
