Book excerpt: Here ten Lutheran theologians explore Lutheran emphases, themes, and approaches to offer their account of Christian ethics as a way of life in today's world. Writing in dialogue, they raise foundational concerns of biblical and theological sources and norms, of Christian freedom and responsibility, of call and social witness, of justice and formation in prayer. Then in a lively "Table Talk" the participants discuss and debate the tradition's insights and oversights and show how it might illumine today's burning ethical issues, such as homosexuality.
Book Synopsis God and Caesar by : Constance L. Benson
Download or read book God and Caesar written by Constance L. Benson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: H. Richard Niebuhr's powerful interpretation of Ernst Troeltsch has shaped our view of the man for over seventy years. Troeltsch is one of the most respected and renowned figures in liberal Protestant thought. Yet as Harvard philosopher of religion Cornel West observes in his foreword, Constance Benson "shat-ters certain crucial aspects of Troeltsch's image as a liberal religious thinker" with God and Caesar. Benson reconstructs the historical context in which Troeltsch wrote his landmark The Social Teaching of the Christian Churches, and reinterprets it in relation to that context. She shows that Troeltsch's Christian-ity legitimized class, religious, and gender inequality in response to the challenges of social democracy. Her controversial exploration of why most Troeltsch scholars have remained silent on this deserves seri-ous consideration. Her discovery of Troeltsch's role in the politics and ideological debates of Imperial Germany require a painful reexamina-tion of an entire chapter of Protestant history. Benson exposes Troeltsch's relationship to Paul de Lagarde, a notorious anti-Semite and architect of what later became Nazi ideology. God and Caesaris a needed corrective. Troeltsch is an important figure for the Chris-tian right in Germany and for many mainstream Protestants in the United States. Benson's courageous book is the most challenging critique of Troeltsch's politics we have—an unsettling perspective that forces us to revise the beloved Troeltsch so many of us had come to admire and cherish. It will be of interest to intellectual historians, theologians and students of religious history, and specialists in German social and political history.

Book Synopsis What Belongs to Caesar? by : Donald Kaufman
Download or read book What Belongs to Caesar? written by Donald Kaufman and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2006-01-25 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even before American soldiers were involved in fighting in the war in Vietnam, someone observed that the United States government was spending money Òlike a drunken sailor. The years since then have substantiated the truth of that observation. The exorbitant cost of war production and the fantastic waste involved in military spending has prompted more and more citizens to inquire as to just what tax funds are being spent on. Disgruntled taxpayers discover that wars and taxes invariably go together. When governments engage in wars, they immediately levy taxes on the citizens to pay for them. This pattern of taxation is firmly grounded in historical experience. In an effort to see the parallels between our times and earlier times, the author begins his study of the war tax problem by taking a brief look at the history of taxation (both ancient and modern). With this background for perspective he moves on to examine several biblical passages like ÒRender to Caesar . . ., which are often used to justify an absolute, unquestioning obedience to governmental demands. Here is a Òhang-up that frequently paralyzes Christian social concern into helpless indifference. A third section of the book explores three basic arguments against the voluntary payment of war taxes. The appeal and power of these arguments are then demonstrated by reviewing only a few of the ways in which people have attempted to resolve this painful ethical dilemma. The author makes a strong case for a more radical Christian application of what it means to be a conscientious objector to war. He claims that those who are willing to refuse the government their Òwarm bodies but nevertheless volunteer (however reluctantly) their Òcold cash for war taxes, are failing to make the choice of discipleship where it counts. Instead, the Christian must find in his commitment to God the kind of courage which enables him to say a decisive No! to the unreasonable demands of government, regardless of the consequences to his own life. Nothing less than this will be adequate to confront the evil and potential destructiveness of our giant Òmilitary-industrial complex.

Download or read book Unto Caesar written by David McLellan and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade the political importance of religion has become more evident than many would have predicted in the 1950s and 1960s. In this brief, provocative book, David McLellan presents case studies of Simone Weil, Reinhold Niebuhr, liberation theology, and the intimate connection between politics and the Christian religion, arguing that such a connection is both inevitable and desirable. After briefly reviewing the classical political theoretical tradition, McLellan explores how the conservative political thought of Simone Weil flowed from the concept of the distant, transcendent God of her Platonized Christianity. By contrast, Reinhold Niebuhr used theology to interpret experience, which gave a philosophical and theological depth to his support of American liberal democracy. For him, the United States was a dynamic spiritual reality. Liberation theology presents the tightest connection between religion and politics with the view that God's action in history is manifest as God acts to empower the poor. Finally, McLellan surveys the Green movement which claims to transcend existing Western political traditions. Here he compares the two creation stories in Genesis - one emphasizing dominion the other stewardship - to illustrate how the Judeo-Christian tradition has structured our understanding of nature. Central to the thesis of Unto Caesar is McLellan's argument that religion is not solely a dependent variable but has some substantial influence at times on the society in which we live and therefore is a fitting subject of interest for all, whether they are believers or not.
