Description
The aim of this book is to consider and set out a theological basis for Christian ethics in today's world.Starting with an examination of our world, Colwell considers the impact of Modernism and Post-Modernism on ethics, before going on to explore the Scriptural basis for an authentic Christian ethic. He then asks how this ethic manifests itself in the Church, and considers, finally, how Christian ethics might be coherent and persuasive in contemporary society.Throughout, Colwell uses contemporary dilemmas as illustrations, and interacts with the thought of Thomas Aquinas, Karl Barth, Stanley Hauerwas and Jonathan Edwards to further illuminate the discussion.

Reviews
-
"What is good about the book is that it seeks to set ethical teaching in broader theological and cultural context than is sometimes the case . . . I learned a lot."--Colin Gunton
-
"This is an excellent study that could do much to introduce the thinking of an important group of theologians who stress the distinctiveness of Christian Ethics to a wider audience... Those like me who follow a more traditional Catholic and Anglican approach to ethics than the one outlined in this book will still find much to stimulate their thinking and deepen their understanding." --Paul Richardson, Church of England Newspaper, 12/09/02.
