The intense fervor of a Mississippi Methodist preacher, the
meticulous reasoning of an Oxford logician, the dogged persistence
of a head longshoreman, the unflagging humor of a Rabelaisian
satirist. To have met Paul Ramsey at a lecture in a medical
university; a heady conference at Hastings-on Hudson; a
congressional hearing; deliberations at a church assembly; or a
bull session in some coffee shop was to be confronted with a
gentleman of unforgettable energy, insight, and delight. In many
roles--as a young instructor in religious studies at Princeton
University, a concerned moral theologian commenting on the ethics
of the "sit-ins" and nuclear issues, an observer and dialogue
partner with physicians at Georgetown and other medical centers, a
faithful editor and analyst of Jonathan Edwards' ethical writings,
a trustee of the Hastings center, a voluminous correspondent with
others who would join to disciplined pursuit of values--Paul Ramsey
in all roles was indefatigable in zeal, rigorous in demand and
gracious in coadventuring (to use one of his wonderful metaphors).
This volume captures a unique exchange between Paul Ramsey and his
most prominent colleagues. In one sense it remains a Festschrift in
his honor, characterized, at times, by a markedly informal tone."
