Just as it is impossible to understand the American religious
landscape without some familiarity with evangelicalism, one cannot
grasp the shape of contemporary Christian ethics without knowing
the contributions of evangelical Protestants. This newest addition
to the Library of Theological Ethics series begins by examining the
core dynamic with which all evangelical ethics grapples: belief in
an authoritative, inspired, and unchanging biblical text on the one
hand, and engagement with a rapidly evolving and increasingly
post-Christian culture on the other. It explores the different
roles that scholars and popular figures have played in forming
evangelicals' understandings of Christian ethics. And it draws
together the contributions of both senior and emerging figures in
painting a portrait of this diverse, vibrant, and challenging
theological and ethical tradition. This book represents the breadth
of evangelical ethical voices, demonstrating that evangelical
ethics involves nuance and theological insight that far transcend
any political agenda. Contributors include David P. Gushee, Carl F.
H. Henry, Jennifer McBride, Stephen Charles Mott, William E.
Pannell, John Perkins, Soong-Chan Rah, Gabriel Salguero, Francis
Schaeffer, Ron Sider, Helene Slessarev-Jamir, Glen H. Stassen,
Eldin Villafane, Allen Verhey, Jim Wallis, Nicholas Wolterstorff,
and John Howard Yoder. The Library of Theological Ethics series
focuses on what it means to think theologically and ethically. It
presents a selection of important, and otherwise unavailable,
texts-English-language texts and translations that have fallen out
of print, new translations, and collections of significant
statements about problems and themes of special importance-in an
easily accessible form. This series enables sustained dialogue on
new and classic works in the field.
