Kingdom Ethics: Following Jesus in Contemporary Context
Glen H. Stassen and David P. Gushee

A highly readable textbook on Christian ethics intimately tied to the Sermon on the Mount. By locating ethics within the kingdom of God, with its tensions between present reality and future fulfillment, the authors give practical guidance while holding to the eschatological dimension.
