Simply the Best

The first edition of this book is twenty years old. This totally revised edition is eight years old. But it remains the finest, most balanced presentation of Christian ethics out of the Roman Catholic tradition. And what I especially appreciated was that it's written in a clear and accessible style. Actually interesting!
