Description

Every day, we do commonplace things & interact with ordinary people without giving them much thought. What we need is a theological guide to thinking Christianly about the ordinary nature of everyday life. Leading ethicist Brent Waters shows that the activities & relationships we think of as mundane are actually expressions of love of neighbor that are vitally important to our well-being. We live out the Christian gospel in the contexts that define us & in the routine chores, practices, activities, & social settings that give ordinary life meaning. It is in those contexts that we discover what we were created for, to be, & to become.

Listen in as Dr. Jeff talks with Brent Waters (DPhil, University of Oxford), who is the Jerre & Mary Joy Stead Professor of Christian Social Ethics at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, Illinois, where he also directs the Jerre L. & Mary Joy Stead Center for Ethics & Values. He has written, edited, or contributed to many books.
