TTF Staff

The Christian Post has an interview with Senior Fellow E. David Cook. 

The interview, posted on May 9, 2005, covers Dr. Cook’s work in ethics and bioethics, his forthcoming book, his role at Wheaton, and includes his advice to U.S. and British leaders, including this response to a question on his advice for Tony Blair:

I think I would encourage him first of all to help the society, particularly the schools, to develop a stronger and more robust moral education. I think we are not doing a really good job preparing our young people to face the many moral challenges that there are in our society today.

Secondly, I want to encourage him to inform the public better about the different moral choices, and let the public know why the government makes the decisions they do.

Thirdly, I want to encourage him to be more explicit, whatever the moral basis for deciding on policy, one or another. Is it just pragmatism? Is just happiness? Or is it actually some moral view?
