At the heart of Christian ethics is the biblical commandment to
love God and to love one's neighbor as oneself. But what is the
meaning of love? Scholars have wrestled with this question since
the recording of the Christian gospels, and in recent decades
teachers and students of Christian ethics have engaged in vigorous
debates about appropriate interpretations and implications of this
critical norm. In Love and Christian Ethics, nearly two dozen
leading experts analyze and assess the meaning of love from a wide
range of perspectives. Chapters are organized into three areas:
influential sources and exponents of Western Christian thought
about the ethical significance of love, perennial theoretical
questions attending that consideration, and the implications of
Christian love for important social realities. Contributors bring a
richness of thought and experience to deliver unprecedentedly broad
and rigorous analysis of this central tenet of Christian ethics and
faith. William Werpehowski provides an afterword on future
trajectories for this research. Love and Christian Ethics is sure
to become a benchmark resource in the field.
