Review "The books depth, intricacy and subtlety testify to decades of theological reflections." - Times Literary Supplement Long Description Oliver ODonovans Ethics as Theology project began with Self, World, and Time, an "induction" into Christian ethics as ordered reflection on moral thinking within the life of faith. Volume 2, Finding and Seeking, shifted the focus to the movement of moral thought from a first consciousness of agency to the time that determines the moment of decision. In this third and final volume of his magnum opus, ODonovan turns his attention to the forward horizon with which moral thinking must engage. Moral experience, he argues, is necessarily two-directional, looking both back at responsibility and forward at aims. The Pauline triad of theological virtues (faith, love, and hope) describes a form of responsibility, and its climax in the sovereignty of love opens the way to a definitive teleology. Entering into Rest offers ODonovans mature reflections on questions that have engaged him throughout his career and provides a synoptic view of many of his main themes. Review Quote Times Literary Supplement "The books depth, intricacy and subtlety testify to decades of theological reflections." Stanley Hauerwas "Few authors are as capable as ODonovan in combining wisdom and erudition. We are in his debt." John Webster "A work of the greatest distinction possessing intellectual poise and scope in equal measure, penetrating in its analysis, elegantly economical in its style, authoritative in its judgments."
