Craig Hovey is Associate Professor of Religion at Ashland University in Ashland, OH and is executive director of the Ashland Center for Nonviolence. He is the author of numerous books including Bearing True Witness: Truthfulness in Christian Practice (2011), Nietzsche and Theology (2008), To Share in the Body: A Theology of Martyrdom for Today's Church (2008), Speak Thus: Christian Language in Church and World (2008), and co-editor of An Eerdmans Reader in Contemporary Political Theology (2011).
"In this refreshing and at times exhilarating exploration, Craig
Hovey portrays Christian ethics as the discovery of what is made
possible because Christ was born, has died, is risen and will come
again. In doing so, he dismantles the popular perception of
Christianity as a catalogue of prohibitions and opens out a vista
of promise, purpose, and potential."
--Samuel Wells, Vicar of St Martin-in-the-Fields, London
"A succinct and thoughtful account of Christian belief and
practice, demonstrating their integral relationship to each other
and showing how some of the key ethical dilemmas troubling
contemporary society may be seen in their light."
--Susan Parsons, Editor of Studies in Christian Ethics
"Craig Hovey draws on a wider variety of sources, texts, and
traditions, and delves into more intricacies of history,
philosophy, and doctrine, than most introductory ethics books would
dare attempt--yet he does so in a way that is unfailingly
accessible and clear. The dexterity with which he draws the reader
into complexity without obscurity is a gift to students and
teachers alike."
--Elizabeth Phillips, Tutor in Theology and Ethics, Westcott House,
University of Cambridge
