Siguiendo a Jesús en un contexto contemporáneo
In Kingdom Ethics: Following Jesus in Contemporary Context coauthors Glen Stassen and David Gushee take a straightforward approach to provide comprehensive coverage of Christian ethics. Stassen and Gushee write: “We intend in this book to let Jesus, and especially the Sermon on the Mount, set the agenda for Christian ethics.”

Kingdom Ethics is divided into seven sections, including one on the exploration of the kingdom of God and a section on the themes of moral authority and norms in Christian ethics.

Drawing on detailed studies of the Sermon on the Mount, Stassen and Gushee shed light on the whole of biblical ethical teaching as it relates to a wide range of issues, including peacemaking, just war, nonviolence, sexuality and gender roles, marriage and divorce, race, economics, care of creation, prayer and politics.

Their work yields neither an impossible idealism, nor an abstract ethical system, nor a generic religious legalism. Rather Stassen and Gushee set forth a holistic ethic that motivates us and provides us with a practical basis for living under the lordship of Jesus Christ.

Glen Harold Stassen is Lewis B. Smedes Professor of Christian Ethics at Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California.

David P. Gushee is Graves Professor of Moral Philosophy at Union University, Jackson, Tennessee.
