Christian ethics is a matter of grace, present to us in Jesus Christ. But so often Jesus is reduced to a kind of role model. This book intends to account for the ways in which the revealed truth, love, and power of God revealed in Jesus Christ are contemporary to human life and transformative of human life. [Ethics in the Presence of Christ] does make an important contribution to the literature on Christian ethics by reminding Christian ethicists that their proposals for ethical agency are not only formulated on the basis of scriptural reflection or philosophical study but also on the continuing power of the risen Christ at work in the world.
