Understandable Ethics
31 Mar 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Crook is an excellent read. His first chapter tended to drag, overviews do not seem to be his strength. But keep on reading - the remainder of the book is insightful and follows in a logical progression. Beware: Crook is very up to date in his thinking on topics that may bother some, e.g., homosexuality. He includes what science has contributed to ethical understanding in his explanations. Some may not like the facts getting in the way of their ethical standards.
This is so well written that I use the book for meditation topics.

A Primer on Compromise
18 Feb 2011
Format:Paperback
Mr Crook, ironic name, has written a "Christian" ethics book that dismisses what the Christian Bible teaches. How can this be so?
He bases some of his premises on new scientific evidence, yet doesn't cite any! Why? Because there is no valid scientific evidence that supports his beliefs. He does however, relate his own un-scientic, un-documented findings! Is this a textbook with facts? Absolutely not! It is one mans opinion, based on his liberal theology and secularism. It's going in the trash!

An Introduction to Christian Ethics

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The book was not in great condition. I expected it to be in better condition for the price. If I didn't need it for a course, I would have sent it back.
