Shalom Ethics

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The Scriptures meant a very specific thing in the context of their time. For most Christians of conscience, the challenge is not in understanding what Christ demanded, but in believing it and seeing its value enough to put it into practice. With humility, it is helpful, valuable even, every now and again, to bring those teachings into the specifics of our day. Dr. Crisp's Shalom Ethics helps us unpack the specificity of the love Christ calls us to, the value in choosing to be faithful to it, and ways to put it into practice right now. Each segment of Dr. Crisp's book is teeming with insight, invitation, and inspiration. All of these warrant profound individual and community interrogation to be fully incorporated into the lives of those bold enough to declare Jesus as the Way.”
