This is the second monograph in the New Studies in Christian Ethics series. Fundamental to this series is the attempt to write about Christian ethics in an interdisciplinary context. Authors are encouraged to bring together recent discussions in philosophy, literary studies and the social sciences with the very best in Christian ethics. This is meant to be an intellectually challenging series and, as such, it inevitably makes heavy demands on contributors. In the first monograph Dr. Kieran Gronin used his philosophical and theological skills in Rights and Christian Ethics. It is an admirable example of interdisciplinary study.
