Informationen zum Autor Edited by Ronald H. Stone and Robert L. Stivers - Contributions by Frances S. Adeney; Brian K. Blount; F E. Bonkovsky; Robert A. Chesnut; Mark Douglas; Gordon K. Douglass; Lora M. Gross; Heidi Hadsell; Paul Hertig; Young Lee Hertig; Edward LeRoy Long; Ron Klappentext Resistance and Theological Ethics collects the edited and updated essays that emerged from the meeting of the Theological Educators for Presbyterian Social Witness in Geneva, Switzerland and southern France in 1999. These writings from educators and ethicists combine to sound a clarion call for the church to stand in resistance to social, economic and political forces that threaten--while embracing those that foster--social justice, peace and human welfare. Each author emphasizes a specific call to resistance against powers grounded in particular forms of sin: religious pride, greed, violence and domination. Divided into three parts, the book details social forces to be resisted, presents historical and biblical examples of resistance, and concludes with theological analysis and advocacy for action in contemporary American society.
