Robin Gill has done much to reclaim for Christian ethics its proper place among the theological disciplines. * Professor Anthony Dyson *\u003cbr\u003eThis 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 *\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.
