Robin Hood can do as many good works as he wants. He can give to the poor, help people in need ,but if he does not have a true relationship with…

First, the…

Narrative ethics is the idea that a person is within a story that he or she should follow (Wilkens, 2011). Christian narrative ethics hold this same idea; however, it follows the story of God and Christianity. The narrative of Christianity is the point of ethics and therefore, cannot be separated. Stanley Hauweras believes strongly in Christian ethics as the main narrative ethics. He claims that ethics cannot be separated from the theology and points to new ideas as proof. Precis Hauerwas…
