Faith and Faithfulness: Basic Themes in Christian Ethics

In Faith and Faithfulness Gilbert C. Meilaender suggests that Christians should not try to develop an autonomous ethic; neither, however, need they deny the common ground that exists with those who stand in other traditions. He then discusses human nature as creaturely, sinful, and justified—using these categories to think about such topics as the relation of humans to their environment, the meaning of personhood, and the meaning of original sin.
