The Genesis of Ethics: On the Authority of God as the Origin

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Reed, Es<strong>thestrong>r D., PUBLISHER: Pilgrim Press, <strong>Thestrong> Genesis <strong>ofstrong> Ethics soundly addresses <strong>thestrong> controversial concept <strong>ofstrong> God's authority and reframes <strong>thestrong> concept as separate from authoritarianism. Es<strong>thestrong>r D. Reed views ethics as <strong>thestrong> practical expression <strong>ofstrong> divine-human reciprocity -- not as an isolated part <strong>ofstrong> Christian life. "God's authority is not <strong>ofstrong> a controlling or hegemonic kind, but <strong>ofstrong> <strong>thestrong> dialogic, answerable kind, which draws human persons into relationship, " writes Reed.
