This book contains essays from the Oxford Centre for Mission Studies' quarterly journal, Transformation, on the topic of Christian Ethics. The papers were selected from volumes published over a period of twenty-five years, during which period Transformation grew from an international journal merely covering "Christian social ethics" to one of "Holistic Mission Studies." Here, Mission Studies is understood in its widest sense to also encompass Christian Ethics. At the very heart of it lies the family as the basic unit of society. We see that all of the other essays on the themes of word and works, poverty, justice, and environment relate primarily to this theme. All the papers together seek to contribute to understanding how Christian thought is shaped in various contexts, each of which poses its own challenges to Christian living in family and in broader society.
