Review # 1 was written on 2016-02-23 00:00:00 Donald Cassel Read this for a class, and I found it a little patronizing, but overall very good. It highlighted some of the main issues in ethics in very real and practical ways, and made me think about some of them in ways I hadn't before. The video dialogues were dated, of course, but I still very much enjoyed seeing some of the top thinkers that shaped today's world hashing these issues out amongst themselves.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-05-19 00:00:00 Javier Martinez Read this for class... I've decided after a bit of debate that class books are OK additions to goodreads, if they're something I would have wanted to read anyhow. That said, after spending many hours with this book (the end result of that being the writing of an unfortunately mediocre paper) I find myself using Gustafson's language to express my own beliefs about God and God's relation to the world... "the power that bears down up us and sustains us" remains both apt and poignant. I'm waiting for the season where I'll have the time to sit down and absorb the second volume, which sadly hasn't happened yet.
