In this accessible introduction to Christian ethics, Hak Joon Lee presents a liberative, grace-centered, and justice-oriented vision of Christian life. Addressing contemporary ethical questions, he explores the moral significance of the New Covenant in Jesus Christ within a world marked by fragmentation and violence. The book emphasizes covenant as the central narrative of Scripture, culminating in the New Covenant, and highlights shalom as God's ultimate purpose. Lee describes God's covenant as the mechanism for community that facilitates liberation and restoration. He introduces a creative model of Christian ethics based on the New Covenant, reconstructing key ethical categories such as agency and discernment, and advocating for practices like communicative engagement and nonviolence. This new model is inclusive, egalitarian, and ecological, aiming to transcend traditional covenantal ethics. In the second part, Lee systematically applies New Covenant ethics to pressing social issues, including politics, economic ethics, and race. His pastoral inquiries reveal a covenantal moral reasoning that challenges the prevailing neoliberal ethos of individualism. Ultimately, Lee argues that a renewed understanding of covenant can heal our fractured society and environment, reorganizing human life in an age of globalization and digitization.
