Ecclesia and Ethics

<i>Ecclesia and Ethics </i>considers the subject of Ecclesial Ethics within its theological theoretical and exegetical contexts. Part one presents the biblical-theological foundations of an ecclesial ethic - examining issues such as creation and Paul's theology of the Cross. Part two moves on to examine issues of character formation and community. Finally part three presents a range of exegetical applications which examine scripture and ethics in praxis. These essays look at hot-button issues such as the 'virtual self' in the digital age economics and attitudes to war. The collection includes luminaries such as N.T. Wright Michael J. Gorman Stanley Hauerwas and Dennis Hollinger as well as giving space to new theological and exegetical voices. As such <i>Ecclesia and Ethics </i>provides a challenging and contemporary examination of modern ethical debates in the light of up-to-date theology and exegesis.
