About this title

Review:

"Arthur Holmes has given us a masterful introduction to a Christian approach to ethics set off . . . from humanistic options that, in effect, undermine the foundations of any ethic at all."--Lewis B. Smedes, Fuller Theological Seminary

"This book is a joy to read. It is utterly lucid -- in thought, organization and style."--Peter Kreeft, Boston College

"This book deserves the attention of all who are committed to careful Christian thinking about the moral life. Students will find a solid basis for developing a Christian perspective on moral philosophical issues. Scholars will gain important clues on how to pursue these matters in a biblically sensitive manner."--Richard J. Mouw, Fuller Theological Seminary
