For the past forty years the "Knox-Robinson Ecclesiology" has been the predominant ecclesiological model in the Sydney Diocese of the Anglican Church of Australia, one that emerged out of a series of theological contributions over two decades. The impact of this ecclesiology can be seen today across four continents (Australia, Europe, North America, Africa). Though pervasive in influence, there has--to date--been no extended systematic articulation of this ecclesiology, nor a serious and sustained appraisal of it. Here, the ecclesiologies of Donald W. B. Robinson (Vice Principal of Moore College 1959-1973, Archbishop of Sydney 1983-1992) and D. Broughton Knox (Principal of Moore College 1959-1985) are presented systematically, then analyzed and evaluated. Here, finally, is a thorough theological engagement with their provocative doctrine of the church.

Where do our ethics come from? Are they based on unchanging realities or subject to revision as human culture develops and changes? What distinguishes Christian ethics from other moral claims? In Giver of All Good, Chase R. Kuhn argues that Christian morality begins with the character of God; only by knowing the Creator can we see ourselves and our world properly. Recognizing that what we believe informs how we live, Kuhn asserts that our theology guides our ethics. By beginning at the beginning, with God as he reveals himself in the Bible, we can best make sense of life. In this fascinating book, Kuhn walks us through a triune basis for Christian ethics, as we encounter the Father's gift of his Son to meet our deepest moral need, and experience true freedom through the life his Spirit brings. Far from mere philosophizing, Giver of All Good shows that when we begin with God in forming our ethics rather than with ourselves, we can be confident in our daily decision-making and our interactions with other people.
