Media Reviews
This book is important. It offers a profound contribution rather than the last word on theism and ethics Ethical Perspectives This is a splendid history of philosophical ethics, with special interest in God's presence and importance in that perennial enterprise, by one of the leading philosophers of ethics writing today. Hare tops off this surprising, exciting, and unorthodox history with an account of his own that collects together the best features of the theistic ethics of the past. God and Morality is written with crystal clarity and impressive scholarship. Robert Roberts, Baylor University
