Review
"All in all, this version of the "Encyclopedia of Ethics is just more of a good thing... Libraries that found the first edition valuable will be even more impressed with this new version."
-"Against the Grain, December 2001-January 2002
"An essential purchase... Especially for large public and academic libraries. Libraries that own the first edition will want to replace it with the second."
-"Booklist/RBB, January 2002
"This encyclopedia has great depth, and is highly recommended for all libraries."
-"Choice, February 2002
"An excellent work, which can be recommended with confidence to any college, university, or seminary library. The changes in this second edition are substantive and important enough to warrant replacing the 1992 version... Anyone who is a student and/or teacher of ethics would benefit from having a copy near at hand."
-"Anglican Theological Review, Spring 2003
