Synopses & Reviews
Review
"Far-reaching in the scope of literature discussed, sharp in exposing the salient features of others' writings, incisive in evaluating both the distinctive contribution of a given work and in assessing its place in the larger body of knowledge." Christian Century
Review
"Excellent as both an historical survey and a typology of Christian ethics. Designed as a textbook, it will be valuable in a variety of ways....Views of other writers are presented clearly but briefly....Recommended." Choice
Review
"It fills a great need. Nothing like it has been available before now a comprehensive, detailed account of contemporary Christian ethical writings. Here just the right author and just the right theme have found each other. The result is a careful, critical, forceful, lucid presentation. Of obvious competence, this book is destined to be widely used for a long time to come." James Luther Adams, editorial board member, The Journal of Religious Ethics
Review
"Indispensable and genuinely exciting as an introduction to the many varieties of Christian ethics....Many college teachers, in both secular and religious colleges, will find nothing to match it." Michael Novak, contributing editor, The Journal of Ecumenical Studies
