Reviews

Despite this book's unlikely readership outside of academia, it will serve as an important reference work for future scholars working at the intersection of Scripture and moral theology as well as comparative theological ethics. The book is also a testament to the kind of positive effect one can have on a field of study even over such a very short lifetime.-- The Living Church
