Description
This important work addresses two major themes: the interconnection of Christian ethics and doctrine, and the interconnection of Christian ethics and the wider history of religions. In both cases, Brian Hebblethwaite contends that the distinctiveness of Christian ethics can only be understood and appreciated against a wider background.In a remarkably skillful and sensitive way, he explores the strengths and weaknesses of the different religions' contributions to the overcoming of evil, and reveals the distinctiveness of the pluriform and complex nature of Christian ethics in its relationships with both the major world faiths and contemporary humanism. A seminal study which will prove invaluable for all scholars, students and laypeople interested in religious studies, ethics and theology.

Description
This important work explores the distinctiveness of Christian ethics, particularly through its interconnections with doctrine and the wider history of religions.Brian Hebblethwaite shows how the distinctiveness of Christian ethics can be understood and appreciated. He brings out the complex nature of that distinctiveness - in Christian individuals and communities as they reflect something of the triune love of God, and in contemporary humanism and major world faiths in which this love is also discernable.He concludes with an extended exploration of the strengths and weaknesses of the different religions in their contributions to the overcoming of evil.
