Ethics of Grace

Paul Martens is Associate Professor of Christian Ethics at Baylor University, USA. Michael Mawson is Senior Lecturer in Theology at Charles Sturt University, Australia.

This is a thrilling book to read. Working at the creative boundary between ethics and grace, its comprehensive coherence, lively discussion, and probing analysis offers more than standard edited volumes. Its critical and respectful dialogue with McKenny is a fitting tribute to a scholar whose influence is broad and deep.
