This book has been written as an introduction to the study of Christian ethics, in the hope that it will be of assistance in coming to terms with this task. It approaches the questions of Christian ethics from the perspective of contemporary Catholic theology, but should also be useful for students of other Christian denominations. It is mainly intended for tertiary undergraduate students, but is also suitable for use in various forms of Christian adult education, as well as for introductory reading for graduate courses. Each chapter is followed by a chapter summary and discussion questions, which could serve as a for tutorials or discussion groups.
