Description
Book SynopsisAn analysis and evaluation of the monumental influence of H Richard Niebuhr. In a comprehensive investigation of the work of four contemporary ethicists, important in their own right, Paul Ramsey, Stanley Hauerwas, James Gustafson, and Kathryn Tanner, it explores how the legacy of Niebuhr has made an impact on their thought and work.
Trade ReviewA carefully written and wide-ranging work... A great strength of this book is that Werpehowski reads the figures he takes up fairly and insightfully. His interpretations challenge a number of entrenched exegetical stereotypes. Theology Today
