Summary:

Matthew Rose offers the first treatment of Barth's ethics from a Roman Catholic perspective, focusing particularly on Barth's ""ethics of creation"" in Church Dogmatics III/4. Among the topics treated are: the connection between dogmatics and ethics, the trinitarian nature of Christian ethics, the relation between theological ethics and Christian moral philosophy, the nature of the divine good, Barth's conception of moral reasoning, and his views on eudaimonism and the natural law.
