Theological Ethics (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780800662646)

This first volume of Helmut Thielicke's important and influential ethics, presents the classical problems of Theological Ethics: the relationship of autonomous and Christian ethics, of secularism and faith, of dogmatics and ethics; ethical principles in the light of the Christian doctrines of creation and the fall; justification and sanctification; and ethical norms and the problem of natural law. As Paul Tillich accurately predicted in his review of Thielicke's work, it has become "a standard in ethical theology" and, as Paul Althaus observed, it is both profound and fully engaged in the concrete practice of Christian life.
