A:

An ethicist is someone whose judgement on ethics and ethical codes has come to be trusted by a specific community. The person may or may not refer to religious beliefs in coming to his or her conclusions on ethics or ethical codes. If so, the ethicist would look in The Bible, or perhaps the Koran or texts of the relevant religion, and attempt to find a passage that suits the situation under judgement. Of course, there frequently are contradictory passages, any one of which would support a sound judgement, and it is open to the religious ethicist to choose the passage that supports the judgement that the ethicist's client or community prefers.
