Synopsis
A call to free Jesus from the colonial ethic of exploitation and oppression that has distorted much of Christian theology and ministry. Norris presents an ethical model that draws upon liberationist, womanist, Anabaptist, and postliberal theologies, and offers a framework for a communitarian virtue ethic of liberation. It identifies the commonalities between these threads, notably the importance of community, character, and justice-while acknowledging their distinctions-and directs them toward the target audience: Christians who embody and enjoy various levels of social, economic, and political privilege. In doing so, it calls on them to confront the oppressive legacy of Christian ethics and begin to understand ethics as formation into a life of service and advocacy, following the witness of Jesus, for the liberation of the marginalized. This book provides Christians with various levels of privilege a way to understand their role and responsibility in participating in movements for justice and liberation.

Liberating Jesus (Paperback)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A call to free Jesus from the colonial ethic of exploitation and oppression that has distorted much of Christian theology and ministry.Liberating Jesus confronts the troubling question of whether 2,000 years of Christianity have caused more harm than good. From the slave trade to the climate crisis, author Kristopher Norris challenges the Church, particularly privileged Christians, to examine its complicity in systemic injustice. In response, he presents a refreshing and innovative ethical framework: a communitarian virtue ethic of liberation. This approach uniquely reconciles the seemingly divergent theological traditions of postliberalism, with its emphasis on community and character, and liberation theology, with its focus on justice for the oppressed.Drawing upon a wide range of sourcesincluding liberationist, womanist, Anabaptist, and postliberal theologies, and guided by thinkers like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, James Cone, Ella Baker, Oscar Romero, and Katie CannonNorris models a new way of doing Christian ethics. The book first lays the theoretical groundwork, linking worship, practice, and character formation to the work of justice. It then applies this robust framework to some of the most urgent ethical issues facing the church today: patriarchy and toxic masculinity, white supremacy and racial injustice, war and peacemaking, poverty and consumerism, and the climate crisis. Throughout, Norris calls on readers to confront the oppressive legacy of Christian ethics and begin to live lives of solidarity and advocacy, following the witness of Jesus, for the liberation of the marginalized.This book provides Christiansstudents, clergy, and laypeoplewith various levels of privilege a new way to understand their role and responsibility in participating in movements for justice and liberation. Accessible and student-friendly introduction to Christian Ethics that draws upon interwoven threads of liberationist, womanist, Anabaptist, and postliberal theologies to offer a framework for a communitarian virtue ethic of liberation. Explores such topics as racial justice, gender and patriarchy, economics, war, and climate change. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
