About This Book

The author presents a series of public lectures that examine how Scripture shapes personal character, social relations, and public responsibilities. Eschewing technical scholarship, the lectures treat the Bible as a practical guide, surveying its testimony on human dignity, the family, education, work, wealth, sorrow, and Christian practice. Drawing on New Testament teaching the speaker highlights the worth of persons and the primacy of human need over ritual forms, and offers a plainspoken apologetic aimed at students and citizens, urging the application of biblical principles to daily life.
