Abstract
Perhaps Father Stanley Harakas's collection of six studies in patristic ethics will frustrate both historians and ethicists, at least those who insist on strict borders between their fields. Yet that lack could also be its chief virtue. The first in a series of three short volumes of Harakas's writings on Christian ethics in the Orthodox tradition, the book is instructive for those in other traditions as well. For along with its expositions of specific patristic authors, texts, and topics, it illustrates the possibilities (and possible traps) of ethical reflection done through living conversation with the ancient wisdom of a tradition. Done well, such a mode can only be good for the field of early Christian studies.
