Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Faith and Faithfulness
Gilbert C Meilaender, Jr. · 1991
70/100
👍 Worth It
Meilaender writes with real rigor and the Augustine-versus-Rousseau chapter alone is worth the read for anyone in seminary or theological ethics. The scope is impressive for a slim volume. The audience is genuinely narrow — this is not a church-group book — but within that audience it holds up well even thirty-plus years on.
