the flow and diversity of Christian social ethics
throughout history This classic collection of Christian statements on social ethics, now fully revised and updated, provides a panoramic view of the two-thousand-year development of Christian concerns for political justice, war and peace, church and state, science, sexuality, environmentalism, social and economic liberation, and other worldly issues. In readings drawn from the Bible to church fathers to Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Martin Luther King Jr. to leading contemporary voices, these substantial excerpts enable students to see the flow of Christian thought and appreciate the deeper religious context for addressing todays most pressing problems.
