"I find the arguments [in this book] sound, resolving many of the problems that I have with what have become the traditional approaches to ethical discourses." - Anvil, Spring 2007

"The essays in this companion are broad ranging, creative explorations written with literary expertise and creativity ... A superb job." - Pacific Journal of Baptist Research, 2007

"An important, often insightful and almost always provocative book that would be unwise to ignore." - Studies in Christian Ethics

"Substantial and significant... the early fruit of an important recent theological turn in theology, towards taking worship as a major source of insight, challenge and guidance... Stanley Hauerwas is probably the most creative, provocative, and exasperating theologian in the English-speaking world. He has enlisted a mighty band of able and argumentative disciples who dominate much theological discussion today, especially in Christian ethics." - Times Literary Supplement

"I recommend this work especially for faculty of Christian ethics courses and worship courses at seminaries and church affiliated colleges." - Teaching Theology & Religion
