Résumé :	Our culture is beset by a host of vexing questions. But where do we begin in trying to answer them? Are there any foundational moral principles to guide our discussion? If so, where do they come from? Christians say such principles come from God. But can there be real right and wrong without God? Can we, in fact, be good without God? Just such questions are faced by a cast of five, mysteriously invited to the home of a troubled judge. Ted (a Christian) joins Graham (an atheist), Francine (a moral relativist), William (an evolutionist) and Ian (a secular humanist) in a fascinating discussion of right and wrong, truth and conduct in this imaginative drama. Wit and wisdom combine as argument takes center stage and readers are invited to think through these issues for themselves.
