Christian ethics, writes theologian D. Stephen Long, is the pursuit of God's goodness by people "on the way" to a city not built by human hands. The cultivation of practical wisdom that comes from diverse sources, it draws on all that is good in God's creation and among the nations. In this Very Short Introduction, Long examines these diverse sources, discusses the relationship between Christian, modern, and postmodern ethics, and explores practical issues including sex, money, and power. The book also examines some of the failures of the Christian tradition, including the crusades, the conquest, slavery, inquisitions, and the Galileo affair. Placing them in the context of the theory and practice of ethics and their historical perspective, Long notes the challenges they raise for Christian ethics. He concludes with a discussion of their implications in the modern era, considering how this affects our lives in the present age. Long recognizes the inherent difficulties in bringing together "Christian" and "ethics" but argues that this is an important task for both the Christian faith and for ethics.About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.

Dog doesn’t like how it slams into his face from the weight
The balls were heavier than I expected and my dog does not like to engage with it even when I drag and throw them around to play with. To heavy duty for cattle dog

Great Training tool!
These things are great! I have a power chewing 8 month old Doberman who DESTROYS toys and he LOVES these balls. I use them on walks as a training reward and it has been a game changer. He loves these more than treats. Its not something I would leave for him to chew on his own in the house, but that's not what they're meant for. You use the rope to dangle and animate the ball so you become the most interesting thing on the walk. Then a clear drop command and you're back at whatever task you were working on. It's great to train recall, leave it, and reward for any good behavior. Highly recommend as a training tool, just remember to tighten the rope before you use it. Do not leave these things lying around your house and think you'll have a great result if you have a power chewer. Use as intended and you will be a happy camper!

Didn’t last 2 minutes
Not actually made of corded rope. Instead made with the most fragile materials this misleading, fraudulent company could find. Any potential buyers beware of this long string of tissue paper. I have been duped!!! Duped!!!
