Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Evolution and Christianity The object of the following simple Notes is to turn a small - but, it is hoped, not inopportune - stream of facts and criticism on to an important question: Is there in the teaching of Christ an originality so wonderful, as to be accounted for only by the assumption of a special Divine Revelation? The facts alluded to, whether historical or scientific, are recorded, for the most part, in writings too elaborate or too learned for the busy majority. Yet the consciousness that new knowledge is threatening with dissolution old views of religion and ethics is wide and deep; and not less so is the desire to get at the gist of the controversy, and to learn what - concerning this question above all others - the new knowledge really has to teach. These Notes then are an attempt to meet that desire, and to point out the bearing of Evolution upon Religion, and especially upon Christianity. It is well to know in what direction we arc moving.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evolution in Christian Ethics A few month ago I published a small book called The Evolution of Christian Doctrine, in which I tried to show that it is possible to combine belief in the permanent and essential principles of Christianity with a willing acceptance of the results of modern science and thought. The present work deals on the same lines with the great principles of Christian ethics, maintaining that they also need not be given up in consequence of the wider horizons of modern experience, but must be re-stated and modified to suit existing conditions. The same Christian principles seem to me to lie at the roots alike of my doctrinal and my ethical work. In the one case it is the Christian spirit working under modern intellectual conditions; in the other case it is the Christian spirit working under existing social conditions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Man: His Religious Systems, and Ethics We may safely say, without fear of contradiction, that one of the most remarkable discoveries of the nineteenth century has been the "law of evolution," so satisfactorily demonstrated, and now universally accepted as true by the scientific world - i.e. by all who have taken the trouble and are able to investigate the subject, unbiassed by preconceived opinion or prejudice. Not only for this will the century be celebrated, but also for the extraordinary development of science; for the progress of education and knowledge generally; and for the emancipation of science from the slavery of the Church, by which it has itself become an independent power, and a source of knowledge to the people. During the greater part of fifteen centuries science was held in bondage by ecclesiasticism, and its development prevented. It was compelled to teach certain ideas of the universe and its order, because in accordance with those found in the Bible - a, compilation of anonymous writings, held as true, not on indisputable evidence, but simply on faith. These ideas, which so long prevailed and for attempts to deny which men suffered and died - are now recognised as legendary and false.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Ethics and Modern Problems The history of moral philosophy, from the Greeks to the nineteenth-century Utilitarians, does not fall within the scope Of this book. Nor will it be necessary to examine in detail different types Of ethical theory, as has been done by Martineau, Sidgwick, Green, and many others. My plan is to take the Ethics Of the New Testament as embodying, on this side, the Chris tian revelation, and to bring these into comparison with the principles which seem to underlie the theory and practice Of the white races in our own day. In this book I am concerned only with Western civilisa tion; I have neither the knowledge nor the space for a consideration Of Asiatic peoples.

Book excerpt: CHRISTIAN ETHICS CHRISTIAN ETHICS AN INTRODUCTORY READER “The selection of readings is excellent and I’d happily have my students devour them.” Esther Reed, University of Exeter “Clear, sharply focused, and precisely what is needed. This book is enlightening and potentially transformative. It presents Christian ethics as an exciting theological enterprise and offers a rich, deep, and accessible way of practicing ethics.” John Swinton, University of Aberdeen “Wells and Quash have put together a wonderfully comprehensive survey of Christian ethics while at the same time offering a distinctive and fresh perspective … With the array of primary texts and judicious and very well-informed commentary that the two volumes represent, they have succeeded in constructing an extremely valuable resource for teachers and students of Christian ethics.” Michael S. Northcott, University of Edinburgh (of Introducing Christian Ethics and Christian Ethics: An Introductory Reader) Christian Ethics: An Introductory Reader provides a comprehensive anthology of primary documents and materials relating to the emergence and study of key approaches to Christian ethics. The volume seeks to encompass the entire canon of Christian ethics, including first-hand accounts from major figures in the theological and ecclesial tradition. Readers are introduced to foundational figures such as Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, and Barth, as well as contemporary voices including Rosemary Radford Ruether, James Cone, Jürgen Moltmann, Stanley Hauerwas, Oliver O’Donovan, Wendell Berry, and many others. Other notable figures not usually associated with the study of formal theoretical ethics, such as Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr., are also represented. The significance of each extract is summarized through useful introductory sections, placing the author or text in the context of broader developments in Christian ethical theory. Whether it is used independently or alongside the accompanying textbook, Introducing Christian Ethics, this engaging and informative volume offers students a window into the fascinating evolution of Christian ethical thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religion of All Good Men: And Other Studies in Christian Ethics Ten years hence I may have the courage only of other people's opinions. My environment is one where the shades of the prison-house too early close in upon youthful enthusiasm. Sooner than else where one ceases to be on one's way attended by the Vision Splendid, and begins to think and feel and speak conventionally and academically. Every where around me I hear the praise of the middle course, of compromise, of suspended judgment: and I see the love of truth corrupted into the sophistic passion for believing both sides of a contradiction. I see the folks of my little world the victims, all of them, of one or two diseases - the disease of having no opinions the balanced mind or the disease of not expressing them moderation Yet we all know that the just balance is motionless: nor have we ever seen in history intellectual progress born of an elegant laissez-faire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Ethics, Vol. 1 In virtue of his firm and independent nature - partly inborn and partly developed in the severe school of experience - he felt also a pressing need of a firmly-based construction of his theo logical views, and of a clear, distinct, and unambiguous ex pression of the same. This need was in part met by the Lutheran form of doctrine. It is true, he saw very clearly the defects and imperfections which a scientific construction and demonstration of this doctrinal formula bring to light; taking into consideration, however, its essential features, he found in it the purest and truest didactic presentation of evangelical truth.* To preserve this form of the truth in its main features.

Download or read book System of Christian Ethics Classic Reprint written by Gottlieb Christoph Adolf Von Harless and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from System of Christian Ethics And of what importance the latter circumstance is, one might readily become aware, if the misfortune should go on increasing in growing measure, that in matters of universal Christian knowledge every theologian should speak his own peculiar language. It must therefore in my case awaken suspicion, whether I am in the right in deviating in essential points from the mode of treatment which has become predominant in Protestant theology. It will thus perhaps surprise many to find, in a system of Christian Ethics, no trace at all of a so-called doctrine of duties (Pflichtenlehre). It ought, nevertheless, to be a matter of satisfaction to me, if I were conscious in all my alterations of being as much in the right as in this. Only I must be allowed, for the right of alteration in these and other cases, to point to the development of the book itself, instead of an explanation of this right in the Preface. But for the clear and sufficient understanding of the nature and the design of a treatise, in which it is wished that these should be drawn from the treatise itself, a sketch which is to serve for lectures presents difficulties hard to be overcome. Much must be left over for oral explanation, if the book is not to take the place of the lectures themselves: the reader of the book, however, will then in many places feel the need of learning more than is to be found in the book itself. True, indeed, to meet the necessities of the reader, I have attempted to give the notes on the paragraphs more copiously than was my original design, and as much as possible in continuous connected development. It is, however, possible, that one may think too much has been given, another too little; or that, to express it more accurately, the corresponding proportion of explanation has not really been hit upon. In reference to these explanations, I must only make this additional remark, that the historical development of Ethics - the literature and all connected with it - has not been considered for this reason, because I intend, if God will, afterwards to give in a second volume a history of the development of Christian Ethics.

Download or read book Human Evolution and Christian Ethics written by Stephen J. Pope and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can the origins of morality be explained entirely in evolutionary terms? If so, what are the implications for Christian moral theology and ethics? Is the latter redundant, as socio-biologists often assert? Stephen Pope argues that theologians need to engage with evolutionary theory rather than ignoring it. He shows that our growing knowledge of human evolution is compatible with Christian faith and morality, provided that the former is not interpreted reductionistically and the latter is not understood in fundamentalist ways. Christian ethics ought to incorporate evolutionary approaches to human nature to the extent that they provide helpful knowledge of the conditions of human flourishing, both collective and individual. From this perspective, a strong affirmation of human dignity and appreciation for the theological virtues of faith, hope and charity is consistent with a revised account of natural law and the cardinal virtues.

They would have been published earlier but for the war. They were delivered very much as they stand, with a few omissions. I have thought it best to add considerable notes and appendices rather than to enlarge the lectures to an extent which would in several cases have involved complete re-writing.
