Description: Can the nature of the good and the right be understood in terms of an ethical reality prior to human feelings, desires, and opinions? Is there a transcendent standard of value and obligation to which we may appeal from any merely human judgment? Is there an ideal of love for the good that can integrate a full appreciation of the very diverse types of value that are available to human choice?

This book answers "yes" as it explores these questions and the relation between religion and ethics in the context of a comprehensive philosophical account of a theistically based framework for ethics.
