The Blackwell Companion to Christian Ethics (Blackwell Companions to Religion)

By Samuel Wells and Stanley Hauerwas

Book Overview

An innovative exposition of Christian ethics, seen through the lens of Christian worship. Editors Stanley Hauerwas and Samuel Wells challenge conventional approaches to the subject, contending that it is Christian worship that shapes the moral life of Christians. In this way, they restore a sense of the integral connection between Christian ethics and theology. The structure of the volume reflects this fresh approach to the discipline, following the practices of the Eucharist in a liturgical sequence from the Gathering through to the Dismissal . commentators within the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Methodist, Presbyterian, Mennonite and Pentecostal traditions. Designed to be accessible to introductory students, it should have a major impact on the study of Christian ethics.
