"Christian ethics does not consist of a list of 'what we're allowed to do' and 'what we're not allowed to do'. It consists rather in the summons to live in God's new world, on the basis that idolatry and sin have been defeated at the c ross and new creation has begun at Easter - and that the entire new world, based on this achevement, is guaranteed by the power of the Spirit." - N.T. Wright "Evil and the Justice of God"
