What is Law, Love, And Language (stagbooks) about?
What is ethics all about? In this book Herbert McCabe suggests that it is about loving, obeying laws, and talking to people.

Most of his arguments, however, do not presuppose a believing Christian readership. McCabe, who died in 2001, was no ivory tower theologian. As a Christian thinker of astonishing originality, he was fully engaged with the world and its political and social realities and was able to comment on what it is for Christians to try to live ethically. He was also a gifted philosopher, as this book clearly indicates. So he was able to comment on human action and the difference between 'good' and 'bad' without seeming to 'preach to the choir'.He took Christianity to be deeply subversive of capitalism since it declares as possible the (to us) improbable prospect that people might live together without war or domination or antagonism but by unity in love.
