The death of Alasdair MacIntyre last week marks the end of one of the most towering philosophical voices of the last century—a thinker whose influence on contemporary ethics, politics, and moral reasoning cannot be overstated.

Pastors, I have a question for you that I'd like your feedback on. I'm considering a small applied ethics book for pastors that tackles some of the most common or unique ethical dilemmas that pastors face in ministry. I'd love to crowdsource pastors for feedback on what to
