Four highly respected thinkers discuss the need for a renewal of Christian ethical reflection in a dramatically and radically different world and offer their own unique points of view about how this should be done responsibly. This book is both a call for renewal in our thinking and acting and an introduction to the issues and bases for the formulation of meaningful responses to our new situation.

One special focus in this reflective overview of Wesley's theological convictions is highlighting the practical-theological dynamics of Wesley's work and suggesting possible implications for contemporary attempts to recover theology as a practical discipline. Another distinctive focus of this work is a systematic consideration of integration of theological emphases traditionally divergent in Eastern/Western Christianity.

A leading Christian educator offers a practical guide for revisioning a church's educational program. After identifying the weaknesses in current education programs, Charles Foster offers an alternative vision that is more cooperative, more attentive to the whole of the congregation's life, and that helps people critically correlate the Bible and Christian tradition to their own experience.

Hoppe opens his study of the biblical idea of the poor and poverty with the socioeconomic structures in ancient Israel and Roman Palestine, then proceeds systematically to examine the biblical evidence, including the Old Testament, the New Testament, the Apocrypha, and Rabbinic literature. In the Bible, poverty is sometimes a curse and sometimes a blessing. Poverty is portrayed in both physical and metaphorical terms. Hoppe describes the various ways the Bible deals with the poor and poverty, and his primary conclusion is that the Bible never idealizes the reality of material poverty and the oppression caused by the rich. Even when the Bible speaks of the "poverty of the spirit" as a positive religious metaphor, God requires humans to seek social justice. Just as poverty is not idealized in the Bible, the poor belong to the agenda of every community of faith. Ancient Israel, early Judaism, Jesus, and the first Christians did not forget the poor, and if believers today wish to be faithful to their biblical heritage, neither can they. This book provides the practical background for scholars and is a primer for a significant theological motif. It will be useful in the classroom (in college and seminary courses in biblical ethics and social justice), as well as serious Bible study. The book includes study questions and a reading list that will help readers and students further probe history, theology, and application.

The essentials of pastoral care involve the pastor's distinctive task of caring for those who are estranged--those who, according to the biblical image of the shepherd, are the lost sheep. By virtue of his or her professional calling, the pastor cultivates wise judgment in order to hear the hurting and offer guidance, reconciliation, healing, sustaining presence, and empowerment for those in need. Patton describes four major situations of being lost: grief and death; illness; addictions; and family challenges.
