About This Book

Collection of lectures delivered at Lake Forest College that examines Christianity's engagement with contemporary social and political issues. Contributors explore how religious teachings are transmitted across generations, the social and civic implications of Jesus’ ethical program, the relation between private faith and public morality, and religion’s role in addressing social discontent. Other essays consider how Christian principles might inform international relations and education for moral leadership. Together the addresses combine historical reflection, theological argument, and practical proposals aimed at reconciling religious conviction with modern civic responsibilities.
