Synopsis
This book examines the ethical doctrines of various pagan systems in order to compare them to the Christian tradition of morality. The author argues that while there were many similarities between pagan and Christian ethics, there were also several key differences that set the two traditions apart. One of the most significant of these differences was the Christian belief in the divinity of Christ and the consequent emphasis on love and forgiveness. This, the author argues, gave Christian ethics a depth and power that was not found in any pagan system. The book is well-researched and engagingly written and offers a valuable contribution to the study of comparative ethics. It should be of interest to anyone interested in the history of ethics, the nature of morality, and the relationship between religion and ethics.
