Summary: Highly Recommended Reading
Review: This book goes to the core of several philosophical schools of thought, where it then proceeds to objectively critique their validity and/or usefullness in our lives. Very easy to read..extremely insightful.

Summary: An excellent resource and food for thought
Review: This book was one of the main textbooks in my Introduction to Ethics class in Bible college. It proved to be an invaluable resource for pinpointing my own beliefs about ethics, and for applying them to current events.

The book is a survey-type study of the various popular ethical theories in the world today. Ten theories are each evaluated according to their strengths, weaknesses, and their stature when measured by a Christian perspective.

I would highly recommend this book to (1) professors searching for textbooks for introductory college ethics courses, and (2) students of ethics to whom the general topic is confusing. An excellent resource for both the beginner who wants to learn ethics, and the advanced student who needs a quick refresher course. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Summary: Very clear and relevant
Review: This introduction to ethics is made very relevant by relating to concrete situation, stories, etc. and is also very rigourous in its analyses and evaluation. Wilkens has succeeded in writing a serious book that is also great fun to read!!!
