My book has been doing best in the category “Christian Ethics”. This makes me uncomfortable -- not because I have a problem with Christian ethics, but because it seems to badly mis-characterise the book -- and would cause potential readers to badly mis-characterise the book. The word “Christian” does not appear anywhere in (the body of) the text. Nor is there any appeal to revelation in the text: "Christian" equals revelation. The book is, however, about ethics -- one-third of it. OBSERVATION: What could be Christian about my ethics? Firstly, it is based on orientation -- but rational, philosophical orientation. Secondly, it unites orientation with action. Orientation and action cannot be separated in my work.
