Selections from Friedrich Schleiermacher's

Brandt presents important selections from German theologian Schleiermacher's Christian Ethics, a work that moves beyond formal matters to offer a comprehensive analysis of ethical issues, including what constitutes moral action for individuals in relation to the family, the state, the school, the church, and society. This edition also includes James Brandt's in-depth introductory essay, describing the role of Christian Ethics in Schleiermacher's overall corpus, its place in the history of Christian ethical reflection, and its structure and character.
