Living in the Kingdom: The Ethics of Jesus by David Cook

This book gives a definition of Jesus' ethical teaching, examining whether it is for all or for some, whether it is possible to live by, and how we should apply moral precepts couched in 1st century terms to 20th century issues. The Sermon on the Mount is examined in detail, providing a springboard for further discussion. It is written for the ordinary Christian, with the insights and debates of scholarship in mind. David Cook's previous books include "Moral Maze", "Wholeness" and "Thinking and Faith".
