Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inclusive and innovative account of religious ethical thinking and acting in the world. Rather than merely applying existing forms of philosophical ethics, Religious Ethics defines the meaning of the field and presents a distinct and original method for ethical reflection through comparisons of world religious traditions. Written by leading scholars and educators in the field, this unique volume offers an innovative approach that reveals how religions concur and differ on moral matters, and provides practical guidance on thinking and living ethically. The book’s innovative method—integrating descriptive, normative, practical, fundamental, and metaethical dimensions of reflection—enables a far more complex and nuanced exploration of religious ethics than any single philosophical language, method, or theory can equal. First introducing the task of religious ethics, the book moves through each of the five dimensions of reflection to compare concepts such as good and evil, perplexity and wisdom, truth and illusion, and freedom and bondage in various theological contexts. Guides readers on understanding, assessing, and comparing the moral teachings and practices of world religions Applies a disciplined, scholarly approach to the subject of religious ethics Explores the distinctions between religious ethics and moral philosophy Provides a methodology which can be applied to comparative ethics for various religions Compares religious traditions to illuminate each of the five dimensions of ethical and moral reflection Religious Ethics: Meaning and Method will help anyone interested in the relation between religion and ethics in the modern world, including those involved in general and comparative religion studies, religious and comparative ethics, and moral theory.

Book Synopsis We Hold These Truths by : John Courtney Murray
Download or read book We Hold These Truths written by John Courtney Murray and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2005 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1960 publication of We Hold These Truths marked a significant event in the history of modern American thought. Since that time, Sheed & Ward has kept the book in print and has published several studies of John Courtney Murray's life and work. We are proud to present a new edition of this classic text, which features a comprehensive introduction by Peter Lawler that places Murray in the context of Catholic and American history and thought while revealing his relevance today. From the new Introduction by Peter Lawler: The Jesuit John Courtney Murray (1904-67) was, in his time, probably the best known and most widely respected American Catholic writer on the relationship between Catholic philosophy and theology and his country's political life. The highpoint of his influence was the publication of We Hold These Truths in the same year as an election of our country's first Catholic president. Those two events were celebrated by a Time cover story (December 12, 1960) on Murray's work and influence. The story's author, Protestant Douglas Auchincloss, reported that it was "The most relentlessly intellectual cover story I've done." His amazingly wide ranging and dense--if not altogether accurate--account of Murray's thought was crowned with a smart and pointed conclusion: "If anyone can help U.S. Catholics and their non-Catholic countrymen toward the disagreement that precedes understanding--John Courtney Murray can." . . . Murray's work, of course, is treated with great respect and has had considerable influence, but now it's time to begin to think of him as one of America's very few genuine political philosophers. His disarmingly lucid and accessible prose has caused his book to be widely cited and celebrated, but it still is not well understood. It is both praised and blamed for reconciling Catholic faith with the fundamental premises of American political life. It is praised by liberals for paving the way for Vatican II's embrace of the American idea of religious liberty, and it is

Book Synopsis Political Worship by : Bernd Wannenwetsch
Download or read book Political Worship written by Bernd Wannenwetsch and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 2004 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do Christian ethics begin? This pioneering study explores the grammar of the Christian life, as it is embodied and learned in worship as the formative experience of the 'fellow citizens of God's people'. The book presents the first in-depth theological investigation of the phenomenon of 'political worship', by exposing the political nature of worship and the worship dimension of politics. In a careful analysis of biblical and traditional conceptions of worship, Wannenwetsch demonstrates how the genuine political character of worship neutralizes attempts to politicize or de-politicize it.

Book Synopsis Kierkegaard and Levinas by : J. Aaron Simmons
Download or read book Kierkegaard and Levinas written by J. Aaron Simmons and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-29 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent discussions in the philosophy of religion, ethics, and personal political philosophy have been deeply marked by the influence of two philosophers who are often thought to be in opposition to each other, SÃ ̧ren Kierkegaard and Emmanuel Levinas. Devoted expressly to the relationship between Levinas and Kierkegaard, this volume sets forth a more rigorous comparison and sustained engagement between them. Established and newer scholars representing varied philosophical traditions bring these two thinkers into dialogue in 12 sparkling essays. They consider similarities and differences in how each elaborated a unique philosophy of religion, and they present themes such as time, obligation, love, politics, God, transcendence, and subjectivity. This conversation between neighbors is certain to inspire further inquiry and ignite philosophical debate.
Book Synopsis Common Objects of Love by : Oliver O'Donovan
Download or read book Common Objects of Love written by Oliver O'Donovan and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely respected as one of today's wisest and most articulate Christian ethicists, Oliver O'Donovan here explores the nature of personal and political behavior as it is -- or should be -- informed by Christian love. This profound look at contemporary life focuses on how moral reflection upon common objects of love has an effect on organized community -- in grandest terms, political society itself. O'Donovan begins with some lighthearted puzzles about teaching ethics and ends with an intense critique of the role of publicity in late-modern liberal culture. Showing, as Augustine believed, that we know only as we love, O'Donovan takes readers on a journey of thought through a series of current and historical issues ranging from the iconoclastic controversy of the ninth century to the terrible events of September 11, 2001. Based on the 2001 Stob Lectures at Calvin College, this volume will help readers learn how to think "from truths of Christian faith to conclusions in Christian action."

Book Synopsis The Future of Political Theology by : Péter Losonczi
Download or read book The Future of Political Theology written by Péter Losonczi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent shifts in the contemporary cultural, political, and religious landscape are engendering intensive attention concerning political theology. New trends and traditional ideas equally colour these movements. Given that a medley of recent books and articles have exhaustively treated both the history and the current resurgence of political theology, we now find ourselves faced with the task of reinventing and redefining the future of political theology. This book presents a rich overview of fresh, contemporary theoretical approaches uniquely prioritizing the prospects of the future of political theology, but also making room for significant interventions from philosophy and political theory. Including prominent essays on Judaic, Islamic, Buddhist and Christian perspectives, this book balances elements from post-modern theology with more classical as well as anti-post-modern approaches.
Download or read book City of Man written by Michael Gerson and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An era has ended. The political expression that most galvanized evangelicals during the past quarter-century, the Religious Right, is fading. What's ahead is unclear. Millions of faith-based voters still exist, and they continue to care deeply about hot-button issues like abortion and gay marriage, but the shape of their future political engagement remains to be formed. Into this uncertainty, former White House insiders Michael Gerson and Peter Wehner seek to call evangelicals toward a new kind of political engagement -- a kind that is better both for the church and the country, a kind that cannot be co-opted by either political party, a kind that avoids the historic mistakes of both the Religious Left and the Religious Right. Incisive, bold, and marked equally by pragmatism and idealism, Gerson and Wehner's new book has the potential to chart a new political future not just for values voters, but for the nation as a whole.
Book Synopsis The Augustinian Imperative by : William E. Connolly
Download or read book The Augustinian Imperative written by William E. Connolly and published by SAGE Publications, Incorporated. This book was released on 1993-02-23 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Augustinian Imperative, which insists there is `an intrinsic moral order susceptible to authoritative representation', is particularly imprinted on the political culture of contemporary America. In this new interpretation of one of the most important figures in political thought, the author approaches the study of the Augustinian Imperative from a critical distance, from a (post) Nietzschean perspective that seeks to assess and modify effects of the Augustinian legacy on the present.
Book Synopsis Ethics and Religion by : Daniel J. Fleming
Download or read book Ethics and Religion written by Daniel J. Fleming and published by ATF Imprint. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of articles that focus on the broad theme of Ethics and Religion in Public and Political Life. The articles are diverse reflections on this theme, and in some cases present rather differing views which, when placed next to one another provide the ingredients for good ethical debate and dare I say itthe possibility of progress in ethical thinking. I trust that readers will relish in the quality of the authors who have contributed to this issue and the contributions they have made.Leading the issue is John Milbank's remarkable piece entitled Theologising Brexit, in which he puts forward an argument for interpreting one of 2016s most surprising events in theological terms, and proceeds to do this, extending on previous work published in ABC Religion and Ethics Online. Next, Thandeka and Darcia Narvaez draw together Thandekas own Contemporary Affect Theology and Narvaezs theory of moral development and reasoning to propose an argument for the effectiveness of certain religious dispositions in prompting healing from destructive tendencies, including with a special focus on race. Their article is entitled Neurobiology, Emotions and Faith: From White Self-Destruction to Healing through Contemporary Affect Theology. Sturla Sagbergs article takes the lead of its name from Samuel Becketts famous quote, oft-cited by Cornel West, 'Try Again, Fail Again, Fail Better: An Essay on the Moral Power of Religious Language in Contemporary Society. Sagbergs argument is that religious language, and the worldviews underpinning it, have enduring relevance in public discourse in a manner that is qualitatively different to the kind of discourse offered without a religious basis. Derek Sankeys article Religion and Values in a World that is Coming of Age takes a different position, extending on Bonhoeffers comment that the world has come of age to posit an argument for a different kind of relationship between religion and ethics, one which sees historically contextualised theologies and religious interests de-coupled from contemporary ethical debates with a view to establishing a sense of sacredness which he sees as far better placed to underpin ethical discussion today. Nicholas Aroneys article is the last in the main section of this issue and also draws from previous work in ABC Religion and Ethics Online. Faith in Public Office: The Meaning, Persistence and Importance of Oaths is an extensive reflection on the topic of the journal, tracing the specifically religious history of oaths and analysing what this means for our understanding of this practice today, particularly when it comes to our having faith in public office.This issue also sees a new section added to the journal. In my own doctoral thesis, I claimed that the worth of the work (which focused on theological and philosophical ethics) was closely tied to its capacity for application. Ethics is ultimately an applied discipline and, whilst academic discussions surrounding it are eminently interesting and important, at some point the rubber has to hit the road. As such, in each issue I will attempt to include a contribution from practitioners those involved in the practice of ethics in one way or another. The contribution for this issue comes from Neil and Jane Hawkes, and focuses on their extensive study of values education and work in implementing it in the UK.I would like to thank all of the authors for their contributions to this issue. As ever with starting something new, there have been some unexpected delays and mistakes along the way, and each has shown great patience throughout this process. I would also like to thank the editorial board for their wisdom and efforts in bringing this work together.
Book Synopsis Reflections in Practical Philosophy and the Philosophy of Religion by : Peter Loptson
Download or read book Reflections in Practical Philosophy and the Philosophy of Religion written by Peter Loptson and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-01-21 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of an extended series of musings, analysis and theorizing over a period of several years. Its central focus is normative philosophical topics, chiefly related to ethics, metaethics, social and political philosophy and the philosophy of religion. Although it has affinities to naturalist and Epicurean traditions, it offers several distinctive and original lines of thought and argument, addressing both theory and practical life. In some contexts, the text adopts a personal, or Joycean, perspective.
