Book Description
Robin Gill’s A Textbook of Christian Ethics continues to be popular with students and lecturers – it is difficult to find another textbook in the field that combines primary texts with extensive analysis and commentary. This 4th edition has been extensively revised and it incorporates up-to-date developments in the field of Christian ethics. Gill retains all the popular features of the previous editions, including its layout and structure. This new edition focuses more strongly throughout on current debates, which are expanded on a variety of topics, such as global Christianity, global economics, euthanasia and global justice or the environment. Gill uses modern texts by William Schweiker, Mark Allman, and Rowan Williams, alongside the classical texts from Augustine, Aquinas and Luther. Gill analyses these texts in a systematic and balanced way, examining differing ethical positions and arguments together with the social and historical factors which shaped them.
Editorial Reviews
Review
‘ . . . a valuable book for any student of ethics and theology.’ ― Review and Expositor
An ingenious tour de force . . . an exemplary textbook which outshines its competitors past and present . . . Robin Gill has done much to reclaim for Christian ethics its proper place among the theological disciplines. ―
Professor Anthony Dyson
This is an excellent blend of classical texts with modern writers yet tied together with the insightful critiques of a skilful ethicist . . . ―
Southwestern Journal of Theology
The previous three editions of this book have become an indispensable source of information for students of Christian Ethics. Now the famed author has given us an expanded 4th edition with more than 100 pages of newer extracts and texts on post-colonialism, feminism, and inter-religious dialogues, mostly written by female scholars. […] I recommend it to anyone who wishes to know more about Christian Ethics. — Daniel Jeyaraj, Liverpool Hope University, UK ―
