If it doesn't directly address marijuana, how can Christians know what to make of the legalization of recreational cannabis and the advocacy of medical marijuana? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the past, Christians could easily answer the question of whether or not it was permissible to use cannabis by deferring to state prohibitions. We could simply say, \"it's against the law.\" Today, that answer is no longer possible. Christians are now forced to do what they should have been doing all along: Think like disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ and bring to bear the wisdom of the sufficient Word of God. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Since cannabis is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, we must understand what it is and how it affects the user. We also must understand what the Bible says about discipleship, healing, suffering, and what it is to be human. Only then can we answer the critical questions regarding the recreational use and the medical use of cannabis. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eCannabis and the Christian\u003c\/i\u003e, Todd Miles gives readers: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiblical wisdom applied to the question of recreational cannabis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiblical wisdom related to the medical use of cannabis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA grid to think through other ethical questions that aren't directly addressed in the Bible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfidence to respond to challenging issues standing on the sufficient Word of God\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTodd Miles \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Theology at Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon, where he teaches theology, church history, hermeneutics, and ethics.
