The book concludes with a chapter on certain current burning ethical issues.
Rezensionen
"'The Biblical Ethic of Love' is rooted in sound biblical exposition and flowers into relevant morality. It establishes moral priorities that speak to the moral confusion of our time. Its practicality is undeniable." (Charles R. Wilson, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of Philosophy and Religion, Taylor University)
"Dr. Charles W. Carter is a leading authority on philosophy and theology in the Wesleyan tradition. In this book, 'The Biblical Ethic of Love', he has combined his knowledge of both fields. I heartily recommend it to those who wish a deeper understanding of this most important subject." (Ralph Earle, Th. D, New Testament Professor Emeritus, Nazarene Theological Seminary) "The strength of a good book and skilled writers is that a door is opened to a variety of subjects without giving them extended discourse." (The Wesleyan Advocate)
