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.

Why Christian morality begins with GodWhere 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? And how can Christians engage these questions with clarity and confidence--without either abandoning their convictions or abandoning the conversation?In Giver of All Good, Chase R. Kuhn argues that the answer begins not with ourselves--our feelings, our culture, our moral intuitions--but with God. What we believe about God shapes how we live. Our theology guides our ethics. And when we begin with God as he reveals himself in Scripture, we have a foundation for moral reasoning that doesn't shift with the cultural moment.Kuhn walks readers through a Trinitarian basis for Christian ethics--encountering God as he has actually given himself to us:● The Father--as the giver of all good, whose character and gifts establish the moral order of creation● The Son--whose gift of himself meets our deepest moral need, not simply forgiving us but reorienting us toward the good● The Spirit--whose life brings true freedom, making the Christian life not a burden of rules but an expression of who we are becomingWritten at a level accessible to any Christian, Giver of All Good equips readers with a coherent, God-centered framework for navigating the moral questions of everyday life--in their relationships, their communities, and a culture where moral claims feel increasingly unstable. When we begin with God rather than ourselves, we can be confident in our daily decision-making and our interactions with other people.Christian ethics don't begin with us. They begin with the God who is the giver of all good--and who has given us everything we need to live well.
