Recenzii

' . . . a valuable book for any student of ethics and theology.'
An ingenious tour de force . . . an exemplary textbook which outshines its competitors past and present . . . Robin Gill has done much to reclaim for Christian ethics its proper place among the theological disciplines.
This is an excellent blend of classical texts with modern writers yet tied together with the insightful critiques of a skilful ethicist . . .
The previous three editions of this book have become an indispensable source of information for students of Christian Ethics. Now the famed author has given us an expanded 4th edition with more than 100 pages of newer extracts and texts on post-colonialism, feminism, and inter-religious dialogues, mostly written by female scholars. [...] I recommend it to anyone who wishes to know more about Christian Ethics.
