The Annual, the journal of the Society of Christian Ethics, offers access to a wide variety of the most recent work in Christian and religious ethics. It is an essential source for student and faculty to keep abreast of new developments in the discipline and to locate sources for research.

The 1995 issue presents the presidential address by Jon P. Gunnemann on "Alchemic Temptations." It includes articles by Larry Rasmussen on the integrity of creation, Sumner B. Twiss and Bruce Grelle on comparative religious ethics and human rights, Simeon O. Ilesanmi on inculturation and liberation theology in Africa, Keith Grabe Miller on Mennonite lobbyists, Christine D. Pohl on hospitality, and James A. Nash on renewing the virtue of frugality. The professional resources section on families and the social order is edited by Christine Firer Hinze and Todd David Whitmore.
