DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis scholarly synthesis of biblical studies and Christian social ethics is designed to provide a biblical argument for intentional institutional change on behalf of social justice. Stephen Charles Mott provides a biblical and ethical guide on ways to implement that change. The first part of the book, providing the biblical theology of intentional social change, deals with the central concepts in biblical and theological ethics: grace, evil, love, justice, and the Reign of God. Christian social change must be rooted not only in justice, but in the grace received through the death and resurrection of Christ. The second part evaluates ethical and theological methods for carrying out that intentional social change. It offers a study of evangelism, counter community, civil disobedience, armed revolution, and political reform. It shows the contribution of each as well as the strong limitations of each used in isolation. A recurring theme of the book is the scriptural insistence on the priority of justice as taking upon oneself the cause of the oppressed. Justice is understood on bringing back into the community those who are near to falling out of it. Political authority has a vital role in social change for justice. It is essential that a Christian use all available and legitimate means of meeting basic needs by providing for all what is essential for inclusion in society. In this revised edition, Mott updates the contemporary illustrations and includes his own further reflections in the last thirty years on this topic.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKScripture presents a unified story of God’s redemptive history and vision for the Christian life. As such, the biblical canon serves as the foundation for Christian ethics. In Biblical Ethics: A Short Companion, Jacob Shatzer offers a primer in biblical ethics that explores principles and interpretative methods for understanding how the Bible speaks with a unified voice and vision for the Christian life. Shatzer begins by defining biblical ethics and examining its nature in relation to the broader task of ethical discourse. He then pivots to the text of Scripture, employing a narrative approach to ethics. He gleans insights from both the Old and New Testaments, looking at their context and themes before charting a vision forward towards a biblical ethic. Finally, the volume concludes by considering challenges to biblical ethics and particular ways biblical ethics are embodied and put into practice in the life of the Christian and the church community. Biblical Ethics: A Short Companion is an essential resource for individuals seeking a comprehensive understanding of the ethical framework presented throughout Scripture. With meticulous analysis and insightful reflections, this book equips readers to navigate the complexities of ethical decision-making and embrace a holistic vision of moral life based on the teachings of the Bible. The Essentials in Christian Ethics series is designed to illuminate the richness and centrality of ethics to all of Christian life. The series consists of short, introductory volumes written by renowned scholars in the fields of ethics, theology, and philosophy. Each volume explores a crucial element of Christian ethical reflection, approaching the subject from within the broader Protestant moral tradition.
