Reviews
Christian Scholar's Review
"O'Donovan has produced a solid piece of work that is well conceived, meticulously executed, philosophically as well as theologically cognizant, and still relevant to both pastoral counseling and ethical decision-making. . . It is a must, a landmark for years to come." Christianity Today
"A brilliant account of the Christian life that evokes both joy and discipline. It is, and is destined to remain, a book from which subsequent attempts to form an evangelical ethic will learn and a standard by which they will be judged." Journal of the American Academy of Religion
"O'Donovan has written an outline for a Christian, evangelical ethic that is systematic in scope and demands attention as a contemporary, classic expression of Christian ethics. Theologians, ethicists, and graduate students will be rewarded as they are forced to think through systematically their own understanding of the Christian life."
