Biblical Ethics and Social Change

Abstract:
In Biblical Ethics and Social Change, Stephen Charles Mott presents a thoughtful analysis of how Scripture informs moral decision-making and inspires action toward societal transformation. By integrating biblical exegesis with ethical theory, Mott demonstrates that faith and social responsibility are inseparable components of Christian living. The book explores how the teachings of both the Old and New Testaments call believers to pursue justice, compassion, and equality in the world. Combining theological depth with practical insight, this work serves as a guide for Christians, theologians, and leaders seeking to apply biblical ethics to contemporary social challenges.
