The Moral Quest

More about the book

The Moral Quest sets forth the basics of ethics, considers the role and methods of Christian ethics in particular, and examines the ethical approaches of the Old Testament, the Gospels and Paul. It introduces the foundational theological ethics of Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, and Luther and the Reformers. The book continues with an evenhanded discussion of modern and contemporary Christian ethicists, including Albrecht Ritschl, Walter Rauschenbusch, Karl Barth, James Gustafson, Paul Ramsey, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Martin Luther King Jr., Gustavo Gutierrez, Rosemary Radford Ruether, Stanley Hauerwas, Carl F. H. Henry and Oliver O'Donovan. It ends with Professor Grenz unpacking his own proposal of a "comprehensive love" Christian ethic.
