Reasonable Ethics: A Christian Approach to Social, Economic, and Political Concerns

by Robert Benne

How do core religious convictions relate to political and cultural conservatism? How should faith affect public life? Robert Benne explores how adhering to Lutheran theology and ethics may lead to conservative convictions in political, cultural, economic, and churchly matters in this collection of the best of his writings. Drawing on his own life experiences and Lutheran ethics, Benne identifies core theological beliefs that Lutherans share and demonstrates how that core leads to persuasive perspectives on contemporary issues.
