The authors lead students and clergy in a thoughtful exploration of the interrelationship of the Bible and ethics, describing the challenges of taking the Bible seriously in the ethical life, the profound changes in global Christianity in the postcolonial and increasingly globalized world, religious pluralism in our cities, and the urgent realities of climate change in the Anthropocene era, navigating complex questions of the Bible's authority and the nuances of different ethical approaches with the goodness of creation and the dignity of human beings as their theological touchstones.
