Title: Disruptive Christian ethics
First published: 2006
Description: "Bringing to the fore the difficult realities of racism and the sexual violation of women, Traci West argues for a liberative method of Christian social ethics in which the discussion begins not with generic philosophical concepts but in the concrete realities of the lives of the socially and economically marginalized. By presenting conscience-jarring stories of individual women's experience and endurance of prejudice, violation, and subjugation, she demonstrates how racism can impact key ideas in Christian ethics, influence government policy on welfare, infect public practice, and invade worship. Her unique method of combining theory and practice allows these stories to critically engage the ideas of Reinhold Niebuhr as well as feminist and womanist ethicists."--BOOK JACKET.
