Recenzje

'Gensler has produced a novel and pragmatic piece of work on religion and ethics. He carefully combs though the various attempts that wed religion and ethics … for those who have commitments to Judeo-Christian ethics, other religious ethics, or to secular ethics, they will find Gensler's treatment of ethics a much-needed ecumenical primer.' Bernard Walker, Bethel University
