Pressestimmen

In Christian Ethics: The Basics Robin Gill provides an excellent overview and analysis of the field of Christian ethics. Key representatives of both classical and contemporary arguments are carefully evaluated with an eye toward their significance today, and each chapter ends with helpful resources for further study. This slender volume is an inviting and accessible exploration of Christian ethics.

- Peter R. Gathje, Memphis Theological Seminary, USA

Robin Gill's "basic" book masterfully unfolds Christian ethics for a new generation, anchoring the field to its roots in the Christian tradition while also illuminating how many of the long-standing questions are evolving and taking new forms in the contemporary world. This is an accessible and inspiring book about living into a complicated future with the diverse resources of the tradition in hand. In short, it is one of the very best introductions to Christian ethics I have read in years.

- Paul Martens, Baylor University, USA
