This book is a remarkable collection of important writings from leading Christian ethicists on a variety of key topics. The editors have selected important articles from virtually every corner of Christian ethics and organized them in a very logical arrangement, so that the book flows nicely. Though admittedly dense, this book is a treasure trove for for anyone wanting a thorough introduction to the field of Christian ethics.

When I've read more of it, perhaps I'll expand on this, but for now, know that this is an excellent resource in Christian ethical thought. Good selection of schools of thought and thought-provoking questions to get you started thinking ethically yourself.

I had to buy this book as part of a college course curriculum.

If you are a hard core philosopher you will love this book. If not, be prepared to be bored and confused.

While I must admit that several of the articles in this book were very thought provoking and forced me to think outside my usual box, they were also very hard reads, at times very confusing. I am not any sort of avid reader and I typically only really enjoy reading books that I have chosen for myself but I am a pretty intelligent person so take what I say as you will. The average or below average reader will find this book very difficult to get through - even if it is for a college course.
