Ethics for beginners - reading recommendations

[MamaLlama123]

Has anyone any particularly good book recommendations about ethics? Also linking with Christianity/ Catholicism - this maybe is moral theology?

I have been given thought to deontological/ consequentialist/ utilitarian/ virtue ethics etc and quite keen to read more about these- for thinking about moral decisions generally and relating to things like lying, sexual ethics, abortion

I have noted there is a couple of books in the 'very short introduction' range - there is one on ethics and another on Christian ethics

any other recommendations?

Thank you!

For a contemporary Christian book on ethics try Virtue Reborn by Tom Wright who writes from the virtue ethics POV. It doesn't cover specific issues much but is very good on the theological basis of Christian moral reasoning. And it's not a dense read.

The Moral Disciple by Kent A. Van Til might be worth a look (though I haven't read it myself - found it on a college bibliography).

This is really good as are all his books.
