It argues that Christian ethics isfounded on God, on the practices of human community, and onworship, and that ethics is fundamentally a reflection of God'sabundance. show more Wells synthesizes dogmatic, liturgical, ethical, scriptural, andpastoral approaches to theology in order to make a bold claim forthe centrality of the local church in theological reflection. Heconsiders the abundance of gifts God gives through the practices ofthe Church, particularly the Eucharist. His central thesis, whichgoverns his argument throughout, is that God gives his peopleeverything they need to worship him, be his friends, and eat withhim.
