This study is the most comprehensive account to date of modern
treatments of the love commandment. Gene Outka examines the
literature on agape from Nygren's Agape and Eros in 1930. Both
Roman Catholic and Protestant writings are considered, including
those of D'Arcy, Niebuhr, Ramsey, Tillich, and above all, Karl
Barth. The first seven chapters focus on the principal treatments
in the theological literature as they relate to major topics in
ethical theory. The last chapter explores further the basic
normative content of agape and discusses some of the most
characteristic problems. "The book is in my judgment the best
recent work in religious ethics. Outka brings together analytic
moral philosophy and theological ethics, providing a masterly
survey of views and issues arising in the past forty years. . . . I
can think of few books of interest to scholars in both philosophy
and theology, but Outka's is one. Unlike some scholars who are at
home in continental theology, Outka is also at home in secular
analytic philosophy; he brings them together in a mutually
illuminating way."-Donald Evans "Outka has mastered this vast
literature on love, and has brought a critical and clarifying
analysis to bear upon it. This is a most important book on a most
important subject, and brings the whole discussion into a new
phase."-John Macquarrie "The first thing to be said about Outka's
book quite simply is that it is excellent; in fact, it is probably
the very best available book about contemporary Christian ethical
theory."-The Humanities Association Review
