Bible and Ethics in the Christian Life

A New Conversation
Bruce C. Birch, Jacqueline E. Lapsley, Cynthia D. Moe-Lobeda, Larry L. Rasmussen, 2018
As the planet changes rapidly and mounting crises throw the globe into chaos, we rethink who we are, how we belong, and what thought and action about our collective existence is required. Invariably this includes a re-reading of inherited sources, such as Scripture. This book launches a conversation about the relationship of the Bible to Christian ethics in and for this present epoch (known as the Anthropocene).
