    Beyond Bumper Sticker Ethics

    An Introduction to Theories of Right and Wrong

    by Steve Wilkens

    Ideas have consequences. And sometimes those ideas can be squeezed into slogans, slapped on bumper stickers and tweeted into cyberspace. These compact messages coming at us from all directions often compress in a few words entire ethical systems. It turns out that there's a lot more to the ideas behind these slogans--ideas that need to be sorted out before we make important moral decisions as individuals ...

    In this short introduction, Stanley Grenz and Roger Olson, two theologians who care deeply about the witness of ordinary ...

    The Smell of Sin

    and the Fresh Air of Grace

    by Don Everts

    An old man saws through his right ankle. A smooth-skinned boy lies to his father's face. Fetid tombs, harsh slavery, fatal choking . . . these images come right from the words of Jesus! They are word pictures Jesus asks listeners to imagine. But why? Why did Jesus paint such vivid pictures when he talked about sin? And why did he make them so sobering—and downright gory at times? In The ...
