Synopsis

How does Christian formation happen and what are its moral implications? This book brings into conversation three disciplines that are crucial for Christian formationsocial science, biblical studies/hermeneutics, and ethics to present a cohesive, dynamic vision of human wholeness and spiritual holiness. The authors weave together insights from their respective fields to address the relationship between personal and communal formation, moral development, and the interpretation of Scripture. Revealing the process as well as the fruits of interdisciplinary dialogue, this book offers a fresh approach to understanding human formation. The final chapter, a case study on immigration, demonstrates the authors' integrative method.
