Ethics
"The work of one of the great minds of the twentieth century, this unsurpassed classic is more than a history of Christian ethical ides. It comes near to being a history of the Christian era, for it relates these ideas to the changing structures of church and society, showing the mutual influences between ideas, social forces, and institutions. In a critical and creative way it has advanced the methods of theological and sociological analysis and synthesis. At the same time the work is more than a history, for it speaks to the present condition of the churches and the culture. [This two-volume] document . . .is as substantial and original as anything that exists on the topic. It reaches from the period of early Christianity to the end of the eighteenth century when 'the main body of Protestant civilization was founded and evolved' The extensive footnotes alone virtually amount to a liberal education."
