Ethics as if Jesus Mattered: Essays in Honor of Glen H. Stassen - Paperback

by Rick Axtell (Author), Michael L. Westmoreland-White (Author), Michelle Tooley (Author)

Glen Stassen has approached his life and work "as if Jesus mattered," and this new collection of essays in his honor demonstrates that the contributors share that commitment, each in her or his own way. Ethics as if Jesus Mattered will introduce Stassen's work to a new generation, advance dialogue and debate in Christian ethics, and inspire more faithful discipleship just as it honors one whom the contributors consider a mentor.
