In this study, participants will be encouraged to examine some pertinent New Testament passages about taxation, explore selected issues regarding what can or should be taxed, and discuss how tax revenue should be used. The issue of taxation is inescapably fraught with troubling ethical, social, and political conflict. How are we to act when moral and civic values seem to contradict each other? There is no single biblical teaching or theological precept that offers clear answers, but this session will surely help clarify the issues.

Brent Waters is Professor of Christian Social Ethics and Director of the Jerre L. and Mary Joy Stead Center for Ethics and Values at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, Illinois. His books include The Family in Christian Social and Political Thought, From Human to Posthuman: Christian Theology and Technology in a Postmodern World; Reproductive Technology: Towards a Theology of Procreative Stewardship; and Dying and Death: A Resource for Christian Reflection.
