A Primer in Christian Ethics: Christ and the Struggle to Live Well
A Primer in Christian Ethics: Christ and the Struggle to Live Well
Luke Bretherton
Cambridge University Press, 2023, x+377pp., pbk., £25.99
‘I am aware that throughout this book I raise more questions than I answer. That is intentional. Part of what this book seeks to do is cultivate a desire to ask questions even if the answers elude us. Learning to ask good questions is the vital first step in the struggle to live well.’ (360) This extract from Luke Bretherton’s brief ‘Epilogue’ sets the scene well and captures the mode of description and analysis which pervades the entire enterprise. If one is seeking a primer in the manner of ‘A short primer in Latin grammar’, then this is not your book. If, however, you are seeking an admirable, subtle and comprehensive introduction to a contemporary eudaimonistic Christian moral theology, then look no further.
