Abstract
This paper presents a systematic ethical reflection on the ethical dilemmas inherent in the insurance industry from the perspective of a Christian theologian. The author is active in the insurance sales sector, hence he provides a first-hand insight into the ethical dilemmas dealt with in this line of work on an everyday basis.
How are the insurance companies and their agents fallen when their (un)ethical practices had to become a subject covered by legislation? The author proposes for discussion a set of ethical standards for the insurance industry, emphasising the interdisciplinary relationship between theology and insurance ethics.
