Christian Ethics And Modern Problems.

by William Ralph Inge

A look at the relation and relevance of Christian ethics, as codified by the books of the New Testament, to the problems of "modern times" (as they were in 1930, following World War I but before World War II). Author William Ralph Inge was the Dean of St. Paul's cathedral in London at the time. A fascinating period work for its comparative currency to later times as well as relative simplicity.
