The Contribution of Christianity to Ethics

First published in 1932, The Contribution of Christianity to Ethics comprises a series of lectures delivered at the University of Calcutta in 1930 under the Stephanos Nirmalendu Ghosh Foundation, primarily for an audience of non-Christian faiths. The book explores the two great commandments, the historical foundations of Christian ethics, the relationship between religion and ethics, asceticism in Christianity, Christianity’s influence on European civilization, and its role in social service. This work will appeal to students and researchers of comparative religion as well as general readers interested in the intersection of faith, ethics, and society.
