Allen Verhey's Remembering Jesus takes a serious look at what Jesus really said and did and applies it to contemporary Christian ethics. Verhey asserts that following Jesus requires remembering him, and in order to remember Jesus, Christians must read and understand Scripture, where the memory of Jesus is found. By remembering Jesus, this book contributes to the effort of Christians to discern the shape and style of life "worthy of the gospel." More specifically, this book displays the implications of Christian integrity for sexual, medical, economic, and political ethics, seeking to understand what Jesus would really have to say about these issues today. About the Author Allen Verhey is the Evert J. and Hattie E. Blekkink Professor of Religion and chair of the Department of Religion at Hope College in Holland, Michigan.
