4.0 out of 5 stars Useful reference work on Christian Ethics, March 27, 2000
By 
Richard A Davis (Wellington, New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Westminster Dictionary of Christian Ethics (Hardcover)
This is the second dictionary of Christian Ethics I have acquired. I wanted something to balance the evangelical "New Dictionary of Christian Ethics and Pastoral Theology" published by IVP. For this purpose it is great. On 'marriage' for exmaple "The Westminster" is not so dogmatic but provides good well-written material and alternative readings.

This dictionary was updated in 1986, making it 14-15 years old. While it has a reference to 'cloning' it doesn't to the 'internet' and some other recent topics. This however means that the Christian ethicist has to keep thinking up things for themeslves rather than being able to look them up - a sign of our fast-moving times.

I would recommend this work for anyone who has to deal with controversial from a Christian framework.
