Reviews

"""Russell Pregeant is concerned that the contemporary church and its members are, in the realm of public affairs, too accommodated to dominant cultural forces opposed to the ethics of Jesus. Discussing wealth and politics, governments, expressions of violence, and 'the stranger, ' Pregeant challenges readers to follow in the totality of their lives a Christ who questions contemporary cultural values and idolatries. This is a thoughtful, insightful, and challenging conversation concerning biblical ethics and contemporary sociopolitical issues."" -Warren Carter, Phillips Theological Seminary ""This book transcends the culture wars that sometimes masquerade as 'religious ethics.' Addressing readers across the religious and cultural spectrum who take seriously the issues of social and personal ethics that polarize American society, Pregeant calls church insiders to put their faith into practice, following the example and teaching of Jesus as the heart and core of Christian ethics. This book can ignite and fuel discussion in the academic and religious settings and is especially recommended to church study groups and their leaders."" -M. Eugene Boring, Brite Divinity School, emeritus"
