Kierkegaard's Ethic of Love by C Stephen Evans

A compelling account of Kierkegaard's ethical views, seeing him against the backdrop of nineteenth-century European society but showing the relevance of his thought for the twenty-first century. Kierkegaard's view of morality as grounded in God's command to love our neighbours as ourselves has clear advantages over contemporary secular rivals.
Evans' clarity makes this text accessible to the student, uet also relevant to scholars of Kierkegaard and Anglo-American moral philosophersThese significant benefits make Evans' book well-worth the read. * Clark J. Elliston, Regent's Reviews. *
Admirable * Daniel Barber, Studies in Christian Ethics *
Evans has in my opinion succeeded in shedding light on Kiergaard's diverse and often opaque comments on ethics and, more importantly, has provided a vigorous, powerful, and to my mind persuasive defence of the divine command theory of moral obligation. * David R Law, The Journal of Theological Studies *
C. Stephen Evans is Professor of Philosophy and Humanities at Baylor University.
