Imagining A Way

From the inception of the Reformed tradition, Reformed Christians have followed Gods call to engage and change the worldYet little work has been done to bring the tools of practical theology and ethics to bear on the task of understanding the Reformed traditionThis comprehensive volume addresses that problemIt gathers some of the most respected voices from within the study of Christian ethics and practical theology to ask how the Reformed tradition understands its calling into the worldWhat does being Reformed mean for how one engages the ills of racism, white supremacy, and homophobia? What does it mean for an environmental ethic? How does Reformed preaching and liturgy respond to sexual violence? These are among the many important issues this book seeks to addressReaders will come away with a firmer grasp of how the Reformed tradition informs and animates Christian engagement with the world.
