    Product Description

    Grounded in Samuel Wells' experience of ordinary lives in poorer neighborhoods, this book presents a striking and imaginative approach to Christian ethics. It argues that Christian ethics is founded on God, on the practices of human community, and on worship, and that ethics is fundamentally a reflection of God's abundance. Wells synthesizes dogmatic, liturgical, ethical, scriptural, and pastoral approaches to theology in order to make a bold claim for the centrality of the local church in theological reflection. He considers the abundance of gifts God gives through the practices of the Church, particularly the Eucharist. His central thesis, which governs his argument throughout, is that God gives his people everything they need to worship him, be his friends, and eat with him. Wells engages with serious scholarly material, yet sets out the issues lucidly for a student audience.

    God’s Companions

    Samuel Wells has a distinctive approach to Christian ethics, which is much influenced by his mentor, colleague and occasional collaborator Stanley Hauerwas. Well’s appeal has always been that he provides the wherewithal to ground Hauerwas’s ethics in categories familiar to Anglicans. And the rewards are striking. In this volume, Wells looks at the practices of the church communities of which he has been a part. Many of these communities have been at the lower end of the socio-economic spectrum – yet each, in its own way, has embodied God’s abundance. The joy of such abundance is well communicated in Wells’ accessible and passionate writing. The hope is that we, through these pages, might share in it, vicariously, and come better to embody it in our lives.
