"Combining appreciation and critique, Wyndy Corbin Reuschling
skillfully teases out the particular dynamics at work in the moral
thinking of many evangelicals. By carefully analyzing the impact of
several moral traditions on evangelicalism, she invites readers
into a fuller recognition of the shaping power of scripture and
Christian community, and into more robust practices of Christian
discipleship. This book is an important contribution to
understanding and strengthening evangelical ethics."--Christine D.
Pohl, Asbury Theological Seminary
"This book honors evangelical commitments to the authority of
scripture, to a personal relation with Jesus, and to evangelism.
But it challenges some of the ways evangelicals have brought those
commitments to bear on Christian ethics, and it suggests better
ways, ways that might indeed revive evangelical ethics."--Allen
Verhey, Duke University
"Wendy Corbin Reuschling's text provides a fresh, insistently
self-critical study of the construction of evangelical ethics
offered by an evangelical 'insider.' Her personal honesty and
thought-provoking analysis makes this a compelling and timely basic
resource on the content of Christian ethics."--Traci C. West, Drew
University Theological School
"Evangelical writers in the field of social ethics have for too
long given only narrow slices of God's rich and complex vision for
how we are to live. At last here is a book that helps us see the
limitations of evangelical ethics built on Aristotelian, Kantian,
and Millian ethical reflection. Corbin Reuschling deconstructs
current evangelical approaches to Christian social ethics in order
to construct a truly biblical vision of what it is to be a people
ofGod."--Alice Mathews, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
""Reviving Evangelical Ethics" offers an appreciative but
rigorous critique of the ways that classical moral theory has
limited ethics to reflection on the demands of duty, the
achievement of certain results, or personal virtue. This important
book redefines the boundaries of evangelical ethics in salutarily
progressive ways, while raising timely cautions concerning the
therapeutic models of spiritual formation that further inhibit the
development of the social dimension of Christian ethics."--David A.
deSilva, Ashland Theological Seminary
"An important book for evangelicals. It seeks nothing less than
a fresh, biblical, and formational direction in evangelical ethics.
The book carefully assesses common contemporary evangelical stances
and points the biblical and theological way forward toward truly
evangelical ethics. It is a delightfully written, insightful book
and deserves a wide reading."--Robert L. Hubbard, North Park
Theological Seminary
