Ethics and Christianity

First published in 2002. This is Volume XII of twelve in the Library of Philosophy series on Ethics. Written in 1970, this book seeks to elucidate the fundamental characteristics of Christian ethics. The main concern has been with what is of most vital concern to the moral philosopher-the exposition of the formal characteristics of a system of morality rather than with the detail of its content and application.
