Protestantism, at its best, grounds both its religious and its
social critique in the faith of the prophets and the life and
teachings of Jesus Christ as understood and lived by the church.
Its teachings and desired practice stand in start contrast to
complacent religion that seems to be at ease with imperial greed,
domination, and violence. Resistance and Theological Ethics
collects the edited and updated essays that emerged from the
meeting of the Theological Educators for Presbyterian Social
Witness in Geneva, Switzerland and southern France in 1999.
Inspired there by the sixteenth century forces of renewal unleashed
through resistance to an imperial church and society, the writings
of these educators and ethicists combine to sound a clarion call
for the church to stand in resistance to social, economic and
political forces that threaten while embracing those that foster
social justice, peace and human welfare. Each author emphasizes a
specific call to nonviolent resistance against powers grounded in
particular forms of sin: religious pride, greed, violence and
domination. Divided into three parts, the book details social
forces to be resisted, presents historical and biblical examples of
resistance, and concludes with theological analysis and advocacy
for action in contemporary American society."
