Protestant and Roman Catholic Ethics: Prospects for Rapprochement - Softcover

If Catholic and Protestant ethicians were asked to name a single theologian who was qualified to write a comprehensive overview of the historical divergences of Catholic and Protestant positions on ethical questions, the bases for those divergences in fundamentally different philosophical and theological perspectives, and the possibilities for future convergences of the traditions, my guess is that James Gustafson would be the one. . . . This brilliant and tightly argued book . . . will be the most important book on moral theology to appear this year. -John Coleman, National Catholic Reporter

James M. Gustafson is Henry R. Luce Professor of Humanities and Comparative Studies at Emory University. His other books include "Can Ethics Be Christian?" and "Ethics from a Theocentric Perspective," Volumes One and Two, all published by the University of Chicago Press.
