Rooted in Christian tradition, each essay analyzes a contemporary problem from social, biblical, and theological perspectives before providing directions for public policy. These engaged ethicists from across the mainline denominations provide concrete examples of how progressive-minded Christians can work for justice in response to these moral dilemmas. With discussion questions in each chapter, this book is an excellent resource for classrooms--both in colleges and in churches.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50043963998481,"sku":"CIN0664232825G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50984018084113,"sku":"NIN9780664232825","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51157036237073,"sku":"NGR9780664232825","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52337302438161,"sku":"NLS9780664232825","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0664232825.jpg?v=1751359728"},{"product_id":"in-search-of-the-good-life-book-rebecca-todd-peters-9780826416209","title":"In Search of the Good Life","description":"Rebecca Todd Peters provides a helpful overview of the complicated contemporary debates about globalization. By engaging in a careful reading of the cacophony of views on the subject, she unearths four identifiable positions within these debates, each offering a different moral vision of the world. As she observes, policy debates about the direction in which globalization should move are morally serious debates about what values humanity will choose as most significant in the post-Cold War world. In Search of the Good Life argues that our moral task is to ensure that globalization proceeds in ways that honour creation and life, and that any theory of globalization ought to be grounded in values that emphasize a democratized understanding of power, encourage care for the planet, and promote people's social wellbeing.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50298533282065,"sku":"CIN0826416209G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51327263539473,"sku":"CIN0826416209VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53261780910353,"sku":"CIN0826416209A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0826416209.jpg?v=1751170427"},{"product_id":"t-t-clark-reader-in-abortion-and-religion-book-rebecca-todd-peters-9780567694720","title":"T\u0026T Clark Reader in Abortion and Religion","description":"This  volume introduces students to the history of cultural and theological  responses to abortion as background for understanding a diversity of  ethical positions in contemporary Christian, Jewish, and Muslim  writings. Politicized debates about abortion are often presented in  terms of a binary rhetoric of prolife versus prochoice; however, this  collection of essays shows how that binary often breaks down when  abortion is seen from different religious perspectives and in light of  the voices of women themselves.   While abortion is a global  phenomenon, this volume focuses on the U.S. context. American abortion politics and  culture wars have been dominated by Christian voices; nevertheless,  Jewish and Muslim abortion ethics engage many of the same issues from  different cultural and religious perspectives. Finally, this volume  presents important examples of recent social scientific studies about  the relationship of religion and abortion in the diverse cultural,  racial, and economic fabric of American society.  Pedagogical features include: - Introduction to the subject matter by the editors - Introductory essays to all five parts of the book - Questions for classroom discussion Additional pedagogical materials can be found at: https:\/\/abortionreligionreader.com\/","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52455467942161,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52455468499217,"sku":"NLS9780567694720","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780567694720.jpg?v=1759374378"},{"product_id":"encountering-the-sacred-book-rebecca-todd-peters-9780567683014","title":"Encountering the Sacred","description":"Many women of faith are interested in having deep conversations with  their friends and families about issues they face in their personal  lives. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of feminist and theologically  progressive materials for these women to turn to for counsel or advice.  Simultaneously, there are a growing number of theologically trained  biblical scholars, theologians, and ministers who are experiencing  similar life challenges, but who are generally discouraged from writing  about these experiences in ways that would be accessible to the general  public. This book bridges the chasm between Christian laywomen and  feminist theologians.   For the last fifty years, feminist  theologians have sought to reimagine Christian theology in ways that  speak to the realities and complexities of women’s lives. They have also  sought to use women’s experience as the starting point for theological  reflection in the same way that men’s lives have shaped the history of  Christian theology for the past 2000 years. In this book, feminist  Christian scholars of theology and religion use the tools of their trade  to examine powerful personal life experiences and to search for new and  empowering ways of understanding the power of the sacred as they have  experienced it.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52591607775505,"sku":"NLS9780567683014","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780567683014.jpg?v=1761064293"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-de\/collections\/autor-buecher-von-rebecca-todd-peters.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
