Grace and Social Ethics Gift as the Foundation of Our Life Together Angela Carpenter
Grace and Social Ethics demonstrates why the doctrine of grace has significant implications for social ethics and for Christian engagement with culture.
“Wonderfully smart, effortlessly learned, and deeply insightful. I heartily commend this book.” —Kevin W. Hector , University of Chicago “Carpenter deftly guides her readers through the findings of evolutionary anthropology and social psychology and into the thickets of contemporary debates around work, criminal justice, and gun control. Along the way, she uncovers the profound implications of the experience of grace for human sociality and builds a robust case for a social ethics deeply rooted in Reformation theology.” —Jennifer A. Herdt, Yale Divinity School

Calvin for the World The Enduring Relevance of His Political, Social,
and Economic Theology Rubén Rosario Rodríguez
This fresh evaluation of Calvin’s theological and political thought shows how his theological legacy impacted the formation of the modern world, its world- view, and its social institutions and why Calvin remains a valuable theological interlocutor for those interested in advancing the work of social, political, racial, and economic justice today. “This book invites Reformed believers to consider unexpected ways that their tradition might speak to pressing contemporary issues and center new voices that resonate more deeply with Calvinism’s past than is often imagined.” —Kenneth J. Woo, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary “Shows us what it looks like to thoughtfully engage with a theological giant who bears a complicated legacy and yet still says much that may be of value for us today.” —Jonathan Tran, author of Asian Americans and the Spirit of Racial Capitalism
