CHRISTIAN ETHICS
A Brief History

MICHAEL BANNER

From questions about whether or not Christians could serve in the Roman army through to current debates about genetic engineering, Christianity has always grappled with complex moral problems. Providing a clear and decisive history of the main figures and schools in Christian ethics, this book introduces readers to the principles which Christians have brought to the discussion of these and other issues.

The author tackles questions such as: What is it to live a Christian life? How is it possible, given weakness of the will? Should we follow the natural law? And are Christian ethics at odds with the findings of philosophy or science? Engaging with key figures including Augustine, Benedict, Aquinas, Luther, and John Paul II, he draws attention to the challenges which have been put to Christian ethics, especially by Nietzsche and other nineteenth-century thinkers, and by contemporary relativism. This concise, illuminating book concludes with a discussion of biotechnology, and the contribution that Christian ethics can make to contemporary moral debates.

Description:
Hardback. New. "No history of ethics, and in particular, a history of Christian ethics can be purely 'history'. Rather it is as it should be an argument about how we need to think in order to act well as Christians. We are quite fortunate to have Michael Banners book because it is an incisive contribution to this project.
