Windows on the World: David Gushee

Windows on the World (March 21st 3 p.m.): “The Radical Moral Message of Jesus”.  Based on Dr. Gushee's new book, The Moral Teachings of Jesus, this talk describes how Jesus turns our way of looking at the world, and living in it, entirely upside down. Are we ready to follow him? In his fourth decade of teaching, Rev. Dr. Professor Gushee has served as Distinguished University Professor of Christian Ethics at Mercer University since 2007, and he is Chair of Christian Social Ethics at Vrije Universiteit (Free University) and Senior Research Fellow at International Baptist Theological Study Centre. Gushee is the elected past-president of the American Academy of Religion and the Society of Christian Ethics and, as of 2025, the author, co-author, editor, or co-editor of 30 books. His most notable works are bestsellers Kingdom Ethics and Changing Our Mind, Defending Democracy from Its Christian Enemies, After Evangelicalism, and most recently, The Moral Teachings of Jesus. Widely regarded as one of his generation’s most significant Christian moral thinkers, Gushee lectures and consults globally, regularly speaking to the press and on podcasts as well as in academic and ecumenical church settings. Prof. Gushee and his wife Jeanie live in Atlanta, Georgia and Chipping Campden, England, are the parents of three adult children, and grandparents of three little ones. Learn more about David Gushee
