Timeless wisdom from a renowned theologian on living well From the fairy godmother's pumpkin coach to Herr Drosselmeyer's nutcracker, godparents have long been associated with good gifts.

In attempting to conceptualize the basis of Christian ethics in a manner that will render Christian convictions morally intelligible, this book casts fresh light on traditional theoretical issues and articulates the distinctive Christian response to contemporary concerns such as suicide, medical ethics, and child care.

Radical forms of gentleness for Christians in an ever louder and more violent world. Expanded edition with study guide for groups and individuals.

A well-formed theological perspective that illuminates the moral life, particularly medical care and the care of children and the handicapped." - James S. Childress, University of Virginia

Describing Hauerwas' work as Christian ethics, one can allow that phrase its full scope of meaning. It is the work of an ethician, who is thoroughly conversant with that branch of philosophy and comes to grips with its major issues. He is also firmly committed to the view that, in modifying the substantive 'ethics' with the adjective 'Christian, ' one is designating a distinct reality.
