It identifies the commonalities between these threads, notably the importance of community, character, and justice-while acknowledging their distinctions-and directs them toward the target audience: Christians who embody and enjoy various levels of social, economic, and political privilege. In doing so, it calls on them to confront the oppressive legacy of Christian ethics and begin to understand ethics as formation into a life of service and advocacy, following the witness of Jesus, for the liberation of the marginalized. This book provides Christians with various levels of privilege a way to understand their role and responsibility in participating in movements for justice and liberation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKristopher Norris \u003c\/b\u003eis Vice President of the Alliance of Baptists denomination.
