Grace and Social Ethics

Theology

“We human beings are relational creatures who need gifts of love. Without God’s love we would not even exist, but what does our need for grace mean for our life together? Angela Carpenter’s wonderfully erudite yet remarkably accessible book insightfully reveals an overlapping consensus in theological, biological, and psychological understandings of our dependent nature. She then draws out important implications concerning the ways we deal with fear and anxiety and encourages us to seek out meaning in life.”
