Morality, Autonomy, and God by Keith Ward

Morality, Autonomy, and God by Keith Ward

Can morality exist separately from a belief in God?

‘Masterful… each position is set out briefly and clearly… Ward is totally in command of his subject in a way that enables him to touch on the most difficult problems of moral philosophy in an accessible manner… this book offers as good an argument as there is likely to be for the grounding of our ethics in the purpose of a good God’

* Church Times *

'This is a fine and comprehensive review of the relationship between theism and morality; clear and well argued. I would wish that all philosophers and theologians were equally nuanced and rigorous.'

-- Lord Stewart Sutherland, President, Royal Institute of Philosophy

'Ward’s book is informed by a grasp of moral philosophy spanning Plato and Dworkin, and a rare understanding of theism across religious traditions. It offers an impressive answer to a vitally important question.'

-- Nigel Biggar, Professor of Moral Theology, Christ Church, Oxford

'How are God and goodness related? What kind of ethics makes sense for reflective theists today? In this bold, wise, and wide-ranging book, Keith Ward presents an original meditation on these key questions which combines the virtues of learning and accessibility.'

-- Tim Chappell, Professor of Philosophy, Open University
