Forrester on Christian Ethics and Practical Theology cover

Bringing together articles and chapters from his considerable work in theological ethics, India, and the social order, Duncan Forrester incorporates new writing and introductions to each thematic section to guide readers through this invaluable resource. This book offers stimulating studies in three related areas - Indian Christianity with particular attention to the caste system, contemporary Christian theological ethics, and the distinctive and challenging theological approach that Duncan Forrester has developed in relation to public issues such as prisons and punishment, welfare provision, social justice, and poverty.

'... this marvellous and astonishingly varied collection of his work from 1957 onwards reveals huge consistencies: a passion for social justice combined with an eirenic voice, a complete absence of jargon, a profound sympathy with ordinary people, and commitment to the life of the church... a tremendously useful collection for anyone working in the broad area of political theology and ethics and we have to be grateful to Ashgate for publishing it.' Modern Believing '... this book brings together Duncan Forrester’s considerable collection of articles, spanning over fifty years... His invaluable contributions to practical, public and political theology as well as Christian ethics make this a valuable resource which should not only be included in reading lists for these disciplines, but which makes essential reading for anyone interested in the relationship between Christianity and civil society... Any theologian is sure to find inspiration in these 500 pages. This is a collection of essays that certainly demonstrates the passion with which theology should be pursued!' The Expository Times
