About the Author
DR. BRATTSTON has used earlier drafts of the lists in this work as a starting-point for writing approximately two hundred and ninety of his own articles and pamphlets on specific topics of Christian ethics. These syntheses of early and contemporary Christianity have been published by a wide variety of denominations in every major English-speaking country. He hopes readers will use them similarly to write essays, articles, and sermons of their own, or to work out personal questions in Christian ethics.
