Deutsche Übersetzung von "Führen in ethischer Verantwortung": Wie können Verantwortliche in Wirtschaft, Politik und Kirche vernatwortlich entscheiden? Executives have to continually make responsible decisions. However, Christians who are executives often do not know how to build a bridge between their underlying va- lues and the continual requirements of everyday working life. The author sees a main problem in the way that within Christianity the three sides of ethical decisions have been played off against each other. However, one finds in the Bible that command- ments, wisdom, and the heart all belong inseparably together. Therefore, norms, the particular situation, and existential concern all have to be considered in order to make mature decisions. Prof. Dr. theol. Dr. phil.
