Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Threshold of Ethics
IN the following chapters I have tried to consider, in the briefest fashion, and with the least possible use of technical language, some of the crucial introductory problems which have to be faced by anyone who proposes to read, think or teach about ethics in general or Christian ethics in particular. Even if the book serves no other purpose than to illustrate the importance of ridding oneself of vagueness and ambiguity in the use of some of the com monest words in the language, the time spent upon it will not have been wasted. The chapter headings should indicate sufficiently the subjects which, in spite of all that has been written about them, seem still to require pains taking scrutiny from all to whom the problems of conduct are of serious concern.
I have to thank my friend, the Rev. J. S. Bezzant, Fellow of Exeter College and Chancellor-designate of Liverpool Cathedral, for his great kindness in reading the proofs.
