What is the purpose of freedom?
We can debate freedom, rights, and justice . . . but what is the purpose of such debates if they do not tangibly contribute to human flourishing? Abundant Lives: A Progressive Christian Ethic of Flourishing invites our engagement in shared well-being, based on Jesus' commandments to love God, our neighbors, ourselves, and our enemies.
Through Abundant Lives, Amanda Udis-Kessler provokes rich conversation so that we might understand—and enact—the Kindom of God as a realm of human and planetary flourishing.
