Rowan Williams (from foreword)-- University of Cambridge Oliver is a difficult, enriching writer, the stimulus of whose work is excep-tional for all those who have engaged with it. . . . The present volume is a worthy tribute to one of the most serious thinkers the Anglican family has nurtured in the last cen-tury or so; a learned, subtle, compassionate voice, ambitious for truthfulness and obedient to grace. Robert Song and Brent Waters (from introduction) Perhaps no other of [O'Donovan's] contemporaries has managed to combine so effectively a deep familiarity and love of Scripture, an extraordinary knowledge of the magisterial tradition of doctrinal and moral theology, and a commitment to the illumination of both the concepts and application of Christian ethics. . . . These essays are offered as tokens of appreciation, and given in the anticipation that further tuition lies ahead. Oliver's own postscript to the volume provides a first taste of precisely that, elaborating on the injunction: Know Thyself!' " Third Millenium -Serious reading of the essays presented will be very rewarding and stimulating for those initiated.-Living Church -A tribute to O'Donovan's intellectual interests and to the impact of his work. . . .

Reseña del editor:

Oliver O'Donovan is widely regarded as one of the preeminent Protestant Christian ethicists of our time. His teaching and scholarship have exerted a profound influence on countless moral theologians. This collection of essays honoring O'Donovan shows how the various contributors - themselves distinguished scholars - have developed their own thinking through serious engagement with O'Donovan's work. More than simply assessing his work, this volume builds upon, expands, and even corrects a few lines of an agenda for Christian ethics that O'Donovan has been instrumental in building. A probing essay by Oliver O'Donovan himself concludes the book. Contributors: Nigel Biggar, Brian Brock, Jonathan Chaplin, Eric Gregory, Shinji Kayama, Jean-Yves Lacoste, Joan O'Donovan, Oliver O'Donovan, Robert Song, Hans Ulrich, Bernd Wannenwetsch, Brent Waters, John Webster, Rowan Williams, John Witte Jr. and Holger Zaborowski
