Andy Goodliff a youth worker from Stevenage has listed his top ten ethics books.  He writes:

The subject of moral theology or theological ethics have seen some excellent books published in recent years. The likes of Bonhoeffer, Yoder, Hauerwas and O’Donovan have provided with excellent examples of how Christian ethics should be done. New voices like Colwell, Wells and Wannenwetsch are continuing that tradition. Personally I find it the most exciting area of theology.
