Christian Scholar's Review
"O'Donovan has produced a solid piece of work that is well
conceived, meticulously executed, philosophically as well as
theologically cognizant, and still relevant to both pastoral
counseling and ethical decision-making. . . It is a must, a
landmark for years to come." Christianity Today
"A brilliant account of the Christian life that evokes both joy and
discipline. It is, and is destined to remain, a book from which
subsequent attempts to form an evangelical ethic will learn and a
standard by which they will be judged." Journal of the American
Academy of Religion
"O'Donovan has written an outline for a Christian, evangelical
ethic that is systematic in scope and demands attention as a
contemporary, classic expression of Christian ethics. Theologians,
ethicists, and graduate students will be rewarded as they are
forced to think through systematically their own understanding of
the Christian life."
