In this classic work of Christian ethics, Ernst Sartorius bridges the divide between theology and the moral life through their mutual integration within the singular theme of divine love. He contends that theology is not a purely intellectual enterprise, but that the study of God arises from a life of union with him. Through this union with God through love, the connection between theology and ethics is inherent to both disciplines. With theology, the Christian explains the nature of divine love as it expresses itself through the creation and redemption of human beings. In ethics, the Christian studies the ways in which this love forms Christian character, so that this love might be dispensed to others. Throughout this work, Sartorius overviews the primary loci of dogmatics along with providing an account of the ethical life. His work draws deeply from the writings of St. Augustine, Johann Gerhard, and the Lutheran Confessions.
