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 Villafa e, Allen Verhey, Jim Wallis, Nicholas Wolterstorff, and John Howard Yoder.

"Kingdom Ethics is arguably the most significant and comprehensive Christian ethics textbook of our time." -- Michelle A. Clifton-Soderstrom, North Park Theological Seminary
Christian churches across the spectrum, and Christian ethics as an academic discipline, are often guilty of evading what Jesus actually said about moral life, focusing instead on other biblical texts or traditions. This evasion of Jesus has seriously malformed Christian moral witness--which Jesus said is tested by whether we put his words "into practice."
David Gushee and Glen Stassen's Kingdom Ethics is the leading Christian introductory ethics textbook for the twenty-first century. Solidly rooted in Scripture--and uniquely focusing on Jesus's teachings in the Sermon on the Mount--the book has offered students, pastors, and other readers a comprehensive and challenging framework for Christian ethical thought. Writing to recenter Christian ethics in Jesus Christ, Gushee and Stassen focus on the meaning of the Kingdom of God, perennial themes of moral authority and moral norms, and all the issues raised by the Sermon on the Mount--such as life and death, sexual and gender ethics, love and justice, truth telling, and politics.
This second edition of Kingdom Ethics is substantially revised by Gushee and features enhanced and updated treatments of all major contemporary ethical issues--including updated data and examples, a more global perspective, gender-inclusive language, a clearer focus on methodology, discussion questions for every chapter, and a detailed new glossary.
Kingdom Ethics is for readers anywhere wanting a robust, comprehensive understanding of Christian ethics founded on the concrete teachings of Jesus and will equip them for further exploration into the field.
This book has helped thousands of families and congregations nationwide to rethink traditional evangelical Christian teachings about LGBTQ inclusion. Many Christian denominations, including the United Methodist Church, are calling on all congregations to discuss LGBTQ inclusion now. That's because millions of American families include loved ones who have felt the condemnation of traditional evangelical teachings, leading many of those families to avoid churches. Dr. Gushee offers hope and healing by helping Christians to return to Bible study, prayer and reflection in a way that leads to inclusion.
This is a powerful, inspiring message because it comes from America's leading Christian ethicist. Throughout his career, Dr. Gushee has written many helpful pastoral books for churches, discussion groups and individuals. He is the author of the "Evangelical Declaration Against Torture" and drafted the "Evangelical Climate Initiative." His "Kingdom Ethics" reference book is on pastors' bookshelves nationwide. Now--in what he describes as the most important book of his long career as a Christian teacher--Dr. Gushee gives us this encouraging book that is perfect for Sunday school or small-group discussion.
"For decades now, David Gushee has earned the reputation as America's leading evangelical ethicist. In this book, he admits that he has been wrong on the LGBT issue," writes Brian D. McLaren, author and theologian. Now, in what he describes as the most important book of his long career as a Christian teacher, he has written this book that is perfect for Sunday school or small-group discussion.
Dr. Gushee takes us along his own theological journey as Bible study, research and prayer changed his mind about gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender inclusion. Then, in this definitive third edition of this book, Dr. Gushee issues a scholarly response to his critics.
Best-selling Christian author Brian D. McLaren says it best: "Not only is David Gushee's work deep, thoughtful and brilliant; and not only is David philosophically and theologically careful and astute; he is also refreshingly clear and understandable by 'common people' who know neither philosophical nor theological mumbo jumbo."
