What is the purpose of freedom, of rights, of justice, if those concepts are debated but do not tangibly contribute to human flourishing? Abundant Lives: A Progressive Christian Ethic of Flourishing invites sociologically informed engagement in human well-being, based on Jesus' command to love God, our neighbors, ourselves, and our enemies.

Author Amanda Udis-Kessler, PhD, provokes rich conversations so we might understand - and enact - the Kindom of God as a realm of human and planetary flourishing. A former sociology professor, Amanda Udis-Kessler (PhD, Boston College; certificate, Iliff School of Theology) is an author of academic and liturgical writings and composer of progressive sacred music.
