What a Piece of Work by Helen Oppenheimer
This is a small book on a large subject: What is special about human beings? Hamlet mused, 'What a piece of work is man How noble in reason how like a god ' but went on to speak of 'this quintessence of dust'. Helen Oppenheimer prefers to start with the dust and move to the glory: we really are animals -- and from these animals has come Shakespeare. People are indeed 'miserable sinners' -- and also magnificent creatures. The author does not disguise that she is a Christian theologian whose subject is ethics, but she writes equally for non-Christians. Her invitation to the reader is: Here is a way of looking at things that I find exciting and convincing -- I hope you do too.
Helen Oppenheimer has written widely on philosophical theology and Christian ethics and has published eleven books.
