About this book

The first volume of Adolf Wuttke's Christian Ethics in its English translation, published in 1873. This volume traces the history of ethics from the ancient world, through the teachers of the church, to the systems of modern philosophy, preparing the ground for Wuttke's own constructive treatment. It offers English readers a wide survey of moral thought from a nineteenth-century German Lutheran scholar.
