Remembering Jesus: Christian Community, Scripture, and the Moral Life

Remembering Jesus: Christian Community, Scripture, and the Moral Life by Verhey, Allen. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780802803238.

In the wake of the "What Would Jesus Do?" movement, Allen Verheys 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 Verhys magnum opus, explores how Christians can practice medical, sexual, economic, and political ethics with integrity. An ideal text for courses in Christian ethics, Remembering Jesus is also a valuable resource for pastors and general readers in search of readable, biblically based guidance for living in todays complex world.
