Based upon the excellent foundational research of Mayers (1974), Dye (1976), and Whiteman (1984), the author constructs a model in an attempt to help us understand cross-cultural moral issues. A unique feature of the model is the integration of Lawrence Kohlberg's philosophy of moral reasoning into the paradigm. The model is then illustrated and applied to several case studies. The author concludes by arguing that while moral standards of the Word of God are absolute in every culture, they must be interpreted and applied uniquely to fit the ethical contours of each society.
