Kingdom Ethics ─ Following Jesus in Contemporary Context

Glen Stassen and David Gushee’s Kingdom Ethics, originally published in 2003, is the leading Christian ethics textbook of the twenty-first century. Solidly rooted in Scripture — especially Jesus’s teachings in the Sermon on the Mount — the book has offered many students, pastors, and other readers a comprehensive and challenging framework for Christian ethical thought.

This substantially revised edition of Kingdom Ethics features enhanced and updated treatments of all major contemporary ethical issues. David Gushee’s revisions include updated data and examples, a more global perspective, more gender-inclusive language, a clearer focus on methodology, discussion questions added to every chapter, and a sizable new glossary.

David P. Gushee is Distinguished University Professor of Christian Ethics and director of the Center for Theology and Public Life at Mercer University, Atlanta, Georgia. His many other books include Righteous Gentiles of the Holocaust: Genocide and Moral Obligation and The Sacredness of Human Life: Why an Ancient Biblical Vision Is Key to the World’s Future.
