It introduces the foundational theological ethics of Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, and Luther and the reformers. The book continues with an evenhanded discussion of modern and contemporary Christian ethicists, including Albrecht Ritschl, Walter Rauschenbusch, Karl Barth, James Gustafson, Paul Ramsey, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Martin Luther King Jr., Gustavo Gutierrez, Rosemary Radford Ruether, Stanley Hauerwas, Carl F. H. Henry and Oliver O'Donovan. It ends with Professor Grenz unpacking his own proposal of a "comprehensive love" Christian ethic.
