Christ and the Moral Life (Library of Theological Ethics)

In this book originally published in 1968 James M. Gustafson asks the fundamental question what is the significance of Jesus for the moral life? His answer is in the form of an ethical map showing the ways in which theological affirmations about Christ relate to moral life in the writings of a number of important Christian thinkers. Gustafson has written a new preface for this edition.The Library of Theological Ethics series focuses on what it means to think theologically and ethically. It presents a selection of important and otherwise unavailable texts in easily accessible form. Volumes in this series will enable sustained dialogue with predecessors though reflection on classic works in the field.
