Christian Ethics Reading Room

Note: this content was originally curated by Arnold Neufeldt-Fast and is no longer being maintained. Some links may not work. Content posted for archival purposes only.

This page is designed to make writings on Christian Ethics available to those without easy access to a theological library. Some links below are to publicly available dissertations/ theses.  Most however connect to scanned, published books & articles via Google Books (only those volumes with significant content preview, e.g., a whole chapter or more, are included). Google Books allows you to search within a volume & also across volumes (rather than across the entire WWW). Hard to find & expensive monographs are also partially accessible to researchers. This Reading Room collects those relevant materials on one page.
 

NB: See special Issues in Christian Ethics below, including "Assisted Suicide / Physician Assisted Dying" -- current for Canadian churches in 2015
