The
Promise of Lutheran Ethics The Studies Department of
the Division for Church in Society initiated and funded The Promise
of Lutheran Ethics in response to ongoing questions about how
Lutherans approach ethics. A group of well-known scholars and
teachers explore distinctive Lutheran emphases, themes, and
approaches to Christian ethics. In their seven pivotal, original
essays, they provide their own accounts of Lutheran ethics as a way
of life in today's world, reflecting both commonalities and
differences. They wrote their essays in dialogue with one another,
which is continued in an edited "table talk" conversation.
