Summary:

In this second edition of the best-selling Cambridge Companion to Christian Ethics, Robin Gill brings together twenty chapters by leading experts, to provide a comprehensive introduction to Christian ethics that is both authoritative and up-to-date. This volume boasts four entirely new chapters, while previous chapters and the bibliography have been updated to reflect significant developments in the field over the last decade. Gill offers a superb overview of the subject, examining the scriptural bases of ethics as well as discussing Christian ethics in the context of contemporary issues, including war and the arms trade, social justice, ecology, economics, medicine and genetics.

All of the contributors have a proven track record of balanced, comprehensive and comprehensible writing; making this book an accessible and invaluable source not only for students in upper-level undergraduate courses, graduate students and teachers, but for anyone interested in Christian ethics today.
