Summary: "A broad array of Christians has wrestled with the subject of conscience from the beginnings of Christianity to the present time. Remarkably - given their differing nationalities, historical circumstances, and religious convictions -leading thinkers have regularly pursued similar questions about conscience. Sometimes they have reached overlapping conclusions. Often, however, concerning both large and small matters, they arrive at different or even radically different answers. But the persistence and correspondence of their inquiries remains a testament to the innate and universal importance of the matter of conscience".
