This is a truly remarkable book, exploring and examining the work of Vigo Auguste Demant, one of the great Christian ethicists of the twentieth century. Markham and Faulstich have produced a scintillating text--the Gifford Lectures of V. A. Demant--that leads us into the heart of and mind of a thinker who gave us a genuinely original Christian Sociology. Markham and Faulstich deserve enormous credit for this outstanding critical introduction to one of the most original thinkers in the field of theology and ethics. --Martyn Percy, Dean of Christ Church, Oxford Vigo Demant is a figure undeservedly forgotten in current theology--despite his subterranean influence. Markham and Faulstich have done us all a great service in making available Demant's unpublished Gifford Lectures. The extensive introduction should make a new generation of theologians turn again to this important witness to the vibrant debates in British theological ethics during the latter half of the twentieth century. --Lewis Ayres, Professor of Catholic and Historical Theology, Durham University
