Dr. Neil Messer is Lecturer in Christian Theology, and Director of the Centre for Contemporary and Pastoral Theology at the University of Wales, Lampeter.

Students could not want a better introduction to Christian Ethics. Theological Book ReviewThe ten chapters offer an outline for a basic course or module. it would be Ideal as an introductory course at both pre- and college level. At the same time there is material here, suitably supplemented from some of the sources given in the text, to provide a framework for a major study of the field. It is also precisely a useful background text for someone studying in another field, such as church history or dogmatics, who needs to have a quick overall survey of the field. Paul Ballard, Cardiff UniversityDr Messer packs a lot in and it is particularly good that he introduces us to some of the important contemporary voices which may not be so familiar to Readers.Michael Wilcockson, The Reader, Winter 2006, Vol.103, N°4I've found Neil Messer's SCM Studyguide to Christian Ethics to be an excellent introductory textbook to accompany my Christian Ethics course. Students find it accessible and engaging as preparatory reading for lectures and come to class with a good grounding in the subject. I recommend it highly. David Clough, University of Chester
