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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWells 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samuel Wells\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1405120142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781405120142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley-Blackwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/19\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.72w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Century\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/20\/2007 pg. 42","brand":"Samuel Wells","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896651178239,"sku":"9781405120142","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fbd31b3f-f482-4063-afa0-68b689bb19ff.jpg?v=1721371967","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gods-companions-samuel-wells-9781405120142","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
