Studies in Christian Ethics is an English-language journal devoted exclusively to theological questions arising in the field of Christian ethics and moral theology. The journal is published in conjunction with the Society for the Study of Christian Ethics based in the UK, whose annual conference furnishes the themed material for the first issue of each volume. By publishing contributions from international scholars and influential theologians and philosophers, the journal seeks to strengthen debate and to foster research on the wide range of topics that emerge in this fast-growing field.

"Studies in Christian Ethics has today established itself as the leading English-language journal in theological ethics. While continuing to offer first-rate work by British theologians and ethicists, it also showcases the best in North American and Continental scholarship in the field. It holds a secure place internationally as one of a few indispensable sources for cutting-edge work in theological ethics, political theology, and related fields." Jean Porter, Rev. John A. O'Brien Professor of Theology, University of Notre Dame

"Studies in Christian Ethics is the leading English language Christian Ethics journal in Europe. It is a high impact journal which publishes cutting edge research papers by leaders in the field on both sides of the Atlantic, and has done since its founding in 1988. It is essential reading for those looking for Christian scholarly writing on contemporary moral problems." Michael S. Northcott, Professor of Ethics, University of Edinburgh

"Studies in Christian Ethics has gone from strength to strength over the past decade to establish itself as the premier journal of theological ethics in the English speaking world. If you want to know the field, you have to know this journal." Brian Brock, Reader in Moral and Practical Theology, King’s College, Aberdeen

"Studies in Christian Ethics is the leading Anglophone journal in theological ethics, and one of only two in religious ethics. Originally British, it now attracts material from around the world and from every Christian tradition. The coverage of its book reviews is unequalled, making it essential for keeping one's finger on the pulse of the field." Nigel Biggar, Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology, Christ Church Oxford
