Description: In the Fray collects David Gushee's most significant
essays over twenty years as a Christian intellectual. Most of the
essays were written in situations of ethical conflict on the highly
contested ground of Christian public ethics. Topics addressed
include torture, climate change, marriage and divorce, the
treatment of gays and lesbians in the church, war, genocide,
nuclear weapons, race, global poverty, faith and politics,
Israel/Palestine, and even whether Christian ethics is a real
academic discipline. Quite visible in the collection is Gushee's
deep research interest in the Nazi era in Germany and how the
churches fared in resisting Nazi intimidations and seductions and,
finally, the Holocaust. All essays reflect the desire for a church
that has learned the lessons of that period--a church with
resistance to racism, militarism, nationalism, and other
social-ideological toxins, and with the discernment and courage to
resist these in favor of a courageous allegiance to the lordship of
Christ at the time of testing. Considerable attention is directed
to contesting some of the public ethics found in the author's own
US evangelical Christian community. Concluding reflections on
Gushee's ethical vision are offered in an illuminating essay by
senior Christian ethicist Glen Harold Stassen.
