Moral Nexus: Ethics of Christian Identity and Community

The Story

Since the publication of Moral Nexus in 1971, James B. Nelson has been one of the most influential ethicists of his generation. It is here that Nelson anticipates much of the current discussion in the field of ethics by illuminating the interdependence of moral community and moral selfhood. Incorporating insights from social psychology and sociology, he relentlessly pursues the connections between Christian identity and human identity - and between Christian ethics and Christian community. Written with Nelson's trademark clarity, Moral Nexus speaks forcefully to our current condition. This edition offers a new introduction and incorporates gender-inclusive language.
