Grounded in Samuel Wells’ experience of ordinary lives in
poorer neighborhoods, this book presents a striking and imaginative
approach to Christian ethics. It argues that Christian ethics is
founded on God, on the practices of human community, and on
worship, and that ethics is fundamentally a reflection of God’s
abundance.
Wells synthesizes dogmatic, liturgical, ethical, scriptural, and
pastoral approaches to theology in order to make a bold claim for
the centrality of the local church in theological reflection. He
considers the abundance of gifts God gives through the practices of
the Church, particularly the Eucharist. His central thesis, which
governs his argument throughout, is that God gives his people
everything they need to worship him, be his friends, and eat with
him. Wells engages with serious scholarly material, yet sets out
the issues lucidly for a student audience.
