New Dictionary of Christian Ethics Pastoral Theology by David J. Atkinson (PDF)

Description

Voted one of Christianity Today’s 1996 Books of the Year Especially in today’s complicated world, moral practice and decision-making raise many hard questions. Dealing with those questions often requires wide-ranging understanding–in areas such as systematic and practical theology, psychology, economics, sociology and philosophy. For the first time, the New Dictionary of Christian Ethics and Pastoral Theology offers expert information and guidance across this range of disciplines–in a single volume. Besides hundreds of articles on specific issues, the Dictionary includes eighteen major keynote articles which provide a basic introduction to the main themes of Christian ethics and pastoral theology. These articles alone constitute a textbook of Christian ethics, excellently surveying that broad field. Written at a nontechnical and accessible level, this Dictionary will be consulted again and again by Christians from all walks of life.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐The articles themselves are generally very well written and informative. I’m knocking off 2 stars because the Kindle version is very awkward to use. It could so easily have been made more useful with an index of entries, like the similar Dictionary of Scripture and Ethics. There is a section in the contents that lets you jump to the first article for each letter in the alphabet. But from there, searching for any article means making a search for the word you want, not knowing whether there is an article under that name at all, then looking up the often numerous entries in the search results.Yet another failure on the part of a major publisher to make electronic versions of reference books useful. Seriously people, do you want people to buy these electronic books or not?

⭐This is a book for one of my husband’s Master classes. He has this book on his desk at the moment. He keeps his favorites close so, it’s a favorite. I am sure he will be looking for this author another time and searching out the store he bought this from for the quick sell and shipment.

⭐I purchased this book as “suggested reading” for an ethics class at Covenant Seminary in St. Louis. The book covers a broad range of mostly contemporary subjects with a generally solid treatment. It will compliment the library of any pastor, student, or scholar.

⭐I am currently taking a university course in Christian ethics and part of this book is required reading.I find the dictionary to be very concise and easy to understand. I have even gone beyond the required readings to satisfy my curiosity.I will probably end up reading the entire book.

⭐I purchased this book as “suggested reading” for a Theological class at Grand Canyon University, Phoenix, AZ. The book covers a broad range of mostly contemporary subjects with a generally solid treatment. It will compliment the library of any pastor, student, or scholar.
