The Christian Moral Life: Practices of Piety

In "The Christian Moral Life: Practices of Piety," Timothy Sedgwick provides the reader with historical practices of the Christian faith such as hospitality, worship and table fellowship in language that is easy to understand. Basic principles of Christian Ethics are presented in this same manner. He accomplishes this by using not only historical information on early Christian communities, but also by relating issues and ideas to his own life. As he is an Episcopalian, the book does have an Anglican bias, but its basic ideas and principles are adaptable to virtually any Christian denomination. For an intriguing, understandable discussion of Christian Ethics and Christain practices, I highly recommend Sedgwick's "The Christian Moral Life: Practices of Piety."
