God Without Measure: Working Papers in Christian Theology: Volume 2: Virtue and Intellect

In this second volume, John Webster advances the discussion to include topics in moral theology and the theology of created intellect. An opening chapter sets the scene by considering the relation of Christology and moral theology. This is followed by a set of reflections on a range of ethical themes: the nature of human dignity; mercy; the place of sorrow in Christian existence; the nature of human courage; dying and rising with Christ as a governing motif in the Christian moral life; the presence of sin in human speech. Webster concludes with studies of the nature of intellectual life and of the intellectual task of Christian theology.
