Solid collection of ethics readings from span of church history

This is a fine compilation of primary sources that provides a good picture of the development of Christian ethics from the birth of the church up through today. Obviously, covering 2000 years in 400 pages means Wogaman & Strong could only include selections of ethical writings from each figure, but this allows them to provide a diverse sampling from each time period from church history. This is a solid one volume historical sourcebook for Christian ethics. (Note the two-star review below still commends it as great study resource. They just found it drier than expected.)
