Christian Ethics: A Historical and Systematic Analysis of Its Dominant Ideas (1967) is a scholarly work by Ismail al-Faruqi that offers a critical examination of Christian ethical thought from both historical and systematic perspectives. Written from a Muslim perspective, the book analyzes the development of key Christian moral doctrines, highlighting what al-Faruqi views as theological inconsistencies and external influences that diverge from Jesus' original teachings. Noted for its advocacy of a rational and coherent ethical framework, the book is regarded as a pioneering Muslim contribution to the critical study of Christian dogma and ethics. It has attracted reviews and critiques from both Muslim and Christian scholars, reflecting its significance in comparative religion and interfaith dialogue.
