BORN IN THE FIRE

Case Studies in Christian Ethics and Globalization

This volume provides a useful forum for dialogue on the moral issues of faith and cultural diversity, identity and suffering, power and morality, and the perennial struggle for genuine freedom and wholeness in the global community.

"Born in the Fire points the way to go in Christian ethics-the slow, deliberate clarification of globalization ethics' achieved by mining the everyday practices of struggling communities of faith and rich cultural traditions."

Larry Rasmussen Union Theological Seminary. New York

"Enoch Oglesby has provided a unique, fresh, and innovative way of doing theological ethics from a multicultural perspective. The methods used, the ethical and theological insights added, all combine to make this a highly readable, insightful approach to and method of doing Christian ethics from a global perspective. This book will be a valuable teaching model and method at the graduate, undergraduate, and local church levels of the religious community."

Major J. Jones

Former President, Gammon Theological Seminary

"This book can be a helpful resource for Christian ethicists, pastoral counselors, and church laity concerned with moral and religious development. Its analysis of African and African American proverbs and personal stories of faith provide a rich reservoir for comparative studies in religion and ethics."
