Excerpt from Christian Ethics: Eight Lectures Preached Before the University of Oxford in the Year 1895, in the Foundation of the Late Rev. John Bampton; M.A. Canon of Salisbury
The will of the late Reverend John Bampton in respect of one of its provisions, has not, of late years, been fulfilled to the letter. It has rarely happened that the Lecturers have produced their Lectures in printed form within two months after they have been preached.' But though many of my predecessors have postponed publication for a short time beyond that indicated in the Will, I feel that I owe the University a fuller apology for my much greater delay. The reason is that I found myself called upon to undertake the office of Censor of Moral Philosophy shortly after my appointment as Bampton Lecturer, and have in consequence found my time in the vacations largely occupied by College business. Those Who know the conditions of modern Oxford Will understand how greatly the possibility of continuous work depends on free Vacations.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores a radical departure in Christian ethical thought from the teachings that immediately preceded it. Whereas classical Greek philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle emphasized ideal but mostly abstract moral constructs, and Jewish thought centered on the Law and the covenant, the author posits that the arrival of Christianity initiated a completely new approach to ethics that was rooted in a concrete historical event: the life of Jesus Christ. The author argues that this new approach transformed the way in which people understood their relationship with God and with each other, and that it provided a more dynamic and effective framework for moral living. The book delves into the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love, and examines how these virtues shaped the development of Christian ethical theory. This book is a valuable contribution to the study of Christian ethics, and it offers a fresh perspective on the origins and development of moral thought within the Christian tradition. It will be of interest to scholars and students of religious studies, ethics, and history, as well as to anyone interested in the intersection of faith and morality.
