Philip Turner, widely recognized as a leading expert in the field, explores the intersection of moral theology and ecclesiology, arguing that the focus of Christian ethics should not be personal holiness or social reform but the common life of the church. A theology of moral thought and practice must take its cues from the notion that human beings, upon salvation, are redeemed and called into a life oriented around the community of the church. This book distills a senior scholar's life work and will be valued by students of Christian ethics, theology, and ecclesiology.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Philip Turner</note> <subject> <topic>Theology, Doctrinal</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Christian ethics</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">241</classification> <classification authority="ddc">T944-P55</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780801097072</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13989/christian-ethics-and-the-church.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13989/christian-ethics-and-the-church.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071319.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
