Description
The Blackwell Companion to Christian Ethics presents an innovative exposition of Christian ethics, seen through the lens of Christian worship. Editors Stanley Hauerwas and Samuel Wells challenge conventional approaches to the subject, contending that it is Christian worship that shapes the moral life of Christians. In this way, they restore a sense of the integral connection between Christian ethics and theology.
The structure of the volume reflects this fresh approach to the discipline, following the practices of the Eucharist in a liturgical sequence from the "Gathering" through to the "Dismissal".
The Companion is ecumenical in spirit and embraces contributions from leading commentators within the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Methodist, Presbyterian, Mennonite, and Pentecostal traditions. Designed to be accessible to introductory students, it will have a major impact on the study of Christian ethics.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Studies in Christian Ethics calls it "an important, often insightful and almost always provocative book that would be unwise to ignore." The Times Literary Supplement describes the volume as "substantial and significant," noting its early role in a theological movement that centres worship as a key source of ethical insight, praising Stanley Hauerwas as a highly creative and challenging theologian. The work is recognised for its originality in grounding Christian ethics within the liturgy of the Eucharist rather than purely in dogmatics, representing a genuinely new direction in moral theology.
