Moral quest : foundations of christian ethics

Grenz then surveys approaches to ethics that are both explicit and implicit in the Bible. He expertly discusses classical Christian ethical systems (such as those of Aquinas and Luther) and concludes with helpful overviews of several more recent Christian ethicists. Grenz concludes with his own constructive proposal, based on the truth and communitarian practice of Christian love.Always clear, well apprised of relevant literature, and presented by a theologian recognized for the excellence of his own theological and ethical work, The Moral Quest is a first-rate introduction to Christian ethics. It will serve students, pastors and interested laypersons alike.
