In the wake of the "What Would Jesus Do?" movement, Allen Verhey's
Remembering Jesus
takes a serious look at what Jesus really did and what he might do in the strange world of contemporary ethics.
Verhey asserts that following Jesus requires remembering him, and this entails immersing ourselves in Scripture and Christian community, where the memory of Jesus is found. This book, which promises to be Verhy's magnum opus, explores how Christians can practice medical, sexual, economic, and political ethics with integrity.
An ideal text for courses in Christian ethics,
is also a valuable resource for pastors and general readers in search of readable, biblically based guidance for living in today's complex world.
