A Textbook of Christian Ethics

A Textbook of Christian Ethics by Robin Gill was published by Continuum in September 2006 and is our 9704th best seller. The ISBN for A Textbook of Christian Ethics is 9780567031129.

The new edition of this classic textbook focuses more strongly on current debates and expands on a variety of topics, with contributions on natural law approaches, virtue ethics in a pluralistic/postmodern world, the influential notion of the 'common good', just war theory, genetics and biotechnology, euthanasia and global justice, and sex and gender issues.

Important modern contributions to Christian ethics are set out alongside classic texts from Augustine, Aquinas and Luther. The modern writers range from thinkers such as Niebuhr, Barth and Bonhoeffer to recent liberation and Third World theologians. Each series of texts is systematically analysed. The differing ethical positions and arguments are examined together with the social and historical factors which shaped them.

Robin Gill is the Michael Ramsay Professor of Modern Theology at the University of Kent, UK.
