Christian Ethics: A Historical and Systematic Analysis of Its Dominant Ideas (1967) is a scholarly work by Ismail al-Faruqi, first published in 1967. It explores Christian ethical thought from both historical and systematic perspectives, analyzing its development and key ideas.[1] This work is part of a broader series by al-Faruqi that examines religious and ethical principles across different faiths.[2][3] The book is noted for its critical stance on the development of Christian theological doctrines and its advocacy for a rational, coherent ethical framework. The publisher emphasized the unique value of this work as the first major Muslim attempt to examine Christian dogma and ethics on their own terms.[4] The book has been reviewed and critiqued by various scholars, including a notable review from a Christian perspective.[5]
