A Covenantal Imagination

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In these essays, Everett traverses an extraordinary array of ethical issues, ranging through the ecological crisis, marriage, family and work, the importance of federalism and reconciliation in political life, and much more. The theological theme of covenant anchors his interpretation of these issues, but Everett's sociological imagination, interwoven with the insightful use of metaphor, symbol, and story, leads the reader at every point to see the world refreshed and anew. An invaluable treasury.”

War, Peace, and Reconciliation

Theology

“Informed by Niebuhr's political realism but rooted in a theology of reconciliation, Weber offers an important alternative to the most common ways of thinking about war in Christian thought. Equally important, and critical to the theology of reconciliation, is his analysis of peace as an organization of power, and of a just society as one in which people have the freedom to be vulnerable. Incisively argued and deeply probing, this book is indispensable for all Christian thinking about conflict, power, justice and peace in the emerging international order.”
