Ethics – Biblical Standards of Reporting

Ethics is defined by Webster’s 1828 Dictionary as follows:

1. The doctrines of morality or social manners; the science of moral philosophy, which teaches men their duty and the reasons of it.
2. A system of moral principles; a system of rules for regulating the actions and manners of men in society.

Is there a relationship between the Bible and how events should be reported in our present age? This course lays a foundation for ethical standards of reporting based on the efforts of scribes to write precisely what they were instructed to write, copy and document, the compiled results forming what has been passed down through generations as the Holy Bible, the most widely read book in history.
