Recenzje

'This is original work that not only benefits the field of Christian ethics, but also the larger social contexts from which these tainted legacies and any possible remedies will emerge. This book is accessible while also being challenging, both in the depth of its insight and the seriousness of the problems addressed.' Rebekah Miles, Reading Religion
