Theological Book Review
The ten chapters offer an outline for a basic course or module. it
would be Ideal as an introductory course at both pre- and college
level. At the same time there is material here, suitably
supplemented from some of the sources given in the text, to provide
a framework for a major study of the field. It is also precisely a
useful background text for someone studying in another field, such
as church history or dogmatics, who needs to have a quick overall
survey of the field. Paul Ballard, Cardiff University
Dr Messer packs a lot in and it is particularly good that he
introduces us to some of the important contemporary voices which
may not be so familiar to Readers.
Michael Wilcockson, The Reader, Winter 2006, Vol.103, N°4
I've found Neil Messer's SCM Studyguide to Christian Ethics to be
an excellent introductory textbook to accompany my Christian Ethics
course. Students find it accessible and engaging as preparatory
reading for lectures and come to class with a good grounding in the
subject. I recommend it highly. David Clough, University of Chester
