A comprehensive work in the field of Christian ethics, Basic Christian Ethics remains, more than fifty years after its original publication, an engaging and important work. The Library of Theological Ethics series focuses on what it means to think theologically and ethically. It presents a selection of important and otherwise unavailable texts in easily accessible form. Volumes in this series will enable sustained dialogue with predecessors though reflection on classic works in the field.
A phenomenal book written by Paul Ramsey before he got a little too crotchity for my taste. It was written decades ago, but holds many profoundly revealing truths about what Christianity is supposed to be about. Definitely a progressive viewpoint, and a "must read" for anyone who typically sees the cloth without studying the fibers.
