Moral Warriors, Moral Wounds

The Ministry of the Christian Ethic

By: Wollom A. Jensen,James M. Childs Jr.

The experience of Wollom Jensen's distinguished career in military service and James Childs's long and productive career in the fields of theology and ethics combine to bring Christian ethics into dialogue with the harsh realities of military service in today's world of war. The authors seek to correlate the ethics of neighbor love with the vocation of the chaplaincy, the framework of just war theory, the published values of the military services, and sample issues such as the challenge of pluralism for the chaplaincy, drone warfare, interrogation practices, and truth-telling. Special emphasis is placed on the reality of moral injury and the moral obligation of society and the churches to respond to the needs of these wounded warriors. The book espouses the view that the Christian ethic, more than a set of principles, is a true ministry to those who struggle to be faithful and fear that they have not been.

American Business Since 1920

How It Worked

By: Thomas K. McCraw,William R. Childs

Tells the story of how America’s biggest companies began, operated, and prospered post-World War I This book takes the vantage point of people working within companies as they responded to constant change created by consumers and technology. It focuses on the entrepreneur, the firm, and the industry, by showing—from the inside—how businesses operated after 1920, while offering a good deal of Modern American social and cultural history. The case studies and contextual chapters provide an in-depth understanding of the evolution of American management over nearly 100 years. American Business Since 1920: How It Worked presents historical struggles with decision making and the trend towards relative decentralization through stories of extraordinarily capable entrepreneurs and the organizations they led. It covers: Henry Ford and his competitor Alfred Sloan at General Motors during the 1920s; Neil McElroy at Procter & Gamble in the 1930s; Ferdinand Eberstadt at the government’s Controlled Materials Plan during World War II; David Sarnoff at RCA in the 1950s and 1960s; and Ray Kroc and his McDonald’s franchises in the late twentieth century and early twenty-first; and more. It also delves into such modern success stories as Amazon.com, eBay, and Google. Provides deep analysis of some of the most successful companies of the 20th century Contains topical chapters covering titans of the 2000s Part of Wiley-Blackwell’s highly praised American History Series American Business Since 1920: How It Worked is designed for use in both basic and advanced courses in American history, at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

ReEngaging ELCA Social Teaching on The Church in Society

By: James M. Childs Jr.

Renowned ELCA ethicist James Childs contextualizes the origins of this foundational social statement and helps contemporary Lutherans think creatively about how we all are called to be the church, in and for the world around us. Grounded in scripture and Lutheran theology, Childs explores the history of Lutheran public witness in the United States and then deftly connects it with our present. Lutherans are called to seek justice for people living in poverty, for creation, and as peacemakers. What does this look like in practice? How do we engage in the dialogue that is love seeking justice? Who is doing this work? How might we be called, as individuals and institutions, to speak powerfully the truth of Christ for others? Where might the Holy Spirit be leading this this church - and its members - to grow? With thoughtful discussions at the end of each chapter and a list of suggestions for further reading, ReEngaging ELCA Social Teaching on The Church in Society is an accessible resource for engaging congregations, study groups, and classrooms.
