Description

This important work explores the distinctiveness of Christian ethics, particularly through its interconnections with doctrine and the wider history of religions.Brian Hebblethwaite shows how the distinctiveness of Christian ethics can be understood and appreciated. He brings out the complex nature of that distinctiveness - in Christian individuals and communities as they reflect something of the triune love of God, and in contemporary humanism and major world faiths in which this love is also discernable.He concludes with an extended exploration of the strengths and weaknesses of the different religions in their contributions to the overcoming of evil.
