There are many works on ethics and various phases of christian ethics, but this contribution of Dr. Ramsey´s goes deeper and more thoroughly into the basic ideas than any other book now current.
Because christian ethics cannot be separated from its religious foundation, an understanding of the New Testament and of the great theologians of the past is presented. There is a self-contained initroduction to New Testament ethics and the moral philosophies of St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther and (less fully) Soren Kierkegaard. This primary source material has been used systematically in the interest of setting forth a constructive theory of christian ethics -not at all with antiquarian concern, since christianity is interested in living, not dead, issues.
Two sources of christian love. Christian liberty: an ethic without rules. Meaning of christian love. Faith´s effectiveness. Christian vocation. Christian virtue. Work of christian love. This human nature. Christian love is search of a social policy. Religious foundation for community life.
