Publisher's Description
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 volume honoring O’Donovan shows how the various contributors -- themselves distinguished scholars -- have developed their own thinking through serious engagement with O’Donovan’s work. Significantly, they build upon, expand, and critique the agenda for Christian ethics that O’Donovan has been instrumental in constructing. As Robert Song and Brent Waters say in their introduction, “To genuinely honor O’Donovan, one cannot remain content with reciting but must risk one’s own exposition.”Contributors:Nigel BiggarBrian BrockJonathan ChaplinEric GregoryShinji KayamaJean-Yves LacosteJoan O’DonovanOliver O’DonovanRobert SongHans UlrichBernd WannenwetschBrent WatersJohn WebsterRowan WilliamsJohn Witte Jr. Holger Zaborowski

Foreword
“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.”
