Rick Axtell, Michelle Tooley, Michael L. Westmoreland-White, eds.
Glen Stassen has approached his life and work “as if Jesus mattered,” and this new collection of essays in his honor demonstrates that the contributors share that commitment, each in her or his own way. Ethics as if Jesus Mattered will introduce Stassen’s work to a new generation, advance dialogue and debate in Christian ethics, and inspire more faithful discipleship just as it honors one whom the contributors consider a mentor.
Rick Axtell is professor of religion and campus Chaplain at Centre College, Danville, Kentucky. Previously, he was director of Louisville United Against Hunger and a case manager with homeless men at St. Vincent DePaul.
Michelle Tooley is associate professor of Religion and Peace Studies at Berea College. Her research is on Religion, Ethics, and Society, with particular focus on peace building, migration, and human rights.
Michael L. Westmoreland-White was formerly the outreach director of Every Church a Peace Church and remains heavily active in faith-based organizations working for peace with justice, especially the Baptist Peace Fellowship of North America, Christian Peacemaker Teams, and the Fellowship of Reconciliation. He teaches religion, philosophy, and ethics courses at several colleges and universities in Louisville and Southern Indiana.
I welcome this festschrift in honor of Glen Harold Stassen. The essays here add considerably to understanding of the full significance of Stassen's profound contribution to Christian ethics, and mark another heartfelt tribute to one of the great Christian teacher-mentors of our era. Highly recommended!

This book is a very welcome addition to our understanding of Glen Stassen’s generously evangelical approach to ethics. Much like Stassen’s own written work, the contributors to this volume generally succeed in combining passion and verve with critical rigour and clarity of expression. As such this volume is a fitting tribute to a man and a scholar whose works will continue to encourage and inspire theologians, ethicists, policy-makers and all people of good will to engage proactively in transforming initiatives that build the peaceable Kingdom, which Stassen taught and embodied throughout his life.
