Church as Parable - Paperback

by Harry J. Huebner (Author), David Schroeder (Author)

At the heart of this book is the conviction ""that moderns have lost their ability to think morally and theologically."" Moral language such as ""right,"" ""wrong"" and ""ought"" is seen as meaningless. Modern society, and frequently the church, have adopted an emphasis on individual freedom and choice in which all is a matter of personal attitude or opinion. Then God plays little or no role. In this important volume Harry Huebner and David Schroeder analyze our moral predicament and its implications. They build a case for an ethical approach based on Scripture and the centrality of God and Jesus Christ, an approach in which the church plays an integral role.
