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."

Download or read book Moral Reflections on Foreign Policy in a Religious War written by Ronald H. Stone and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2008 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moral Reflections on Foreign Policy in a Religious War argues that foreign policy thinkers and actors must take religion more seriously than they have in analysis and action. The tragedy of U.S. policy in Iraq is in part due to the dangers of ignoring religious conflicts in that country until it was too late, and then responding too awkwardly. Working as a philosopher of religion and politics, Ronald H. Stone shows how unreflective religion in a dialogic relationship with power politics has proven hazardous in both the United States and the Middle East. Stone proposes policy changes for the United States and calls for reform in the ways that both politics and religion are understood. Moral Reflections on Foreign Policy in a Religious War is a book appropriate for all levels of students and anyone seeking to make sense of current events. Book jacket.
Download or read book Believing Aloud written by Mark Douglas and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-09-15 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fall of 2006, Mark Douglas, a professor of Christian ethics, was invited to write weekly editorials for a secular newspaper. Surprisingly, his editor placed no limits around either the content or the rhetoric of those editorials. This book offers Professor Douglas's reflections on that work and the editorials themselves. Taken together, they model a particular vision of Christian engagement in the public sphere. This book offers a single sustained argument about why and how the Christian faith should shape the public lives of its adherents. Both the reflections and the editorials model various aspects of that argument. At the center of this book's argument are the Christian virtues of faith, hope, and love. Douglas begins by arguing not only that faith matters in the public sphere but describing how this is so. He then describes the way hope shapes a worldview through which to interpret public life. Finally, the virtue of love informs the practices of a life in which Christians learn to "believe aloud." Many recent books have made the case that it is important for people of faith to engage in matters of public interest-this one actually shows how one person has done so.
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.
Download or read book Reflections on Philosophy and Religion written by Alan Donagan and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1999 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the collected papers of Alan Donagan on topics in the philosophy of religion. Donagan was respected as a leading figure in American moral philosophy. His untimely death in 1991 prevented him from collecting his philosophical reflections on religion, particularly Christianity, and its relation to ethics and other concerns. This collection, therefore, constitutes the fullest expression of Donagan's thought on Christianity and ethics, in which it is possible to discern the outlines of a coherent, overarching theory. Editor Anthony Perovich has supplied a useful introduction, which brings Donagan's work into focus and brings out the unifying themes in the essays.

Download or read book Augustine s Teaching on the Two Cities Civitates and Nigerian Society written by Leonard Oshiokhamele Anetekhai and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Augustine’s creative and allegorical thought, in his City of God, on social life is one that provides citizens of the earthly cities, especially Christians, an opportunity to understand why and how they should contribute positively to public life through faith and social responsibility. Believing that human life is social, our human social existence must transcend and go beyond social, religious and political affiliations. This requires that individuals be good and upright in their social engagements as religious and political citizens. It also entails individual rights, duties and obligations, without excluding the fight against injustice, social vice, exploitation and power abuse within human society. These sets of values and the positive outcome thereof can only be achieved through love. This love is the driving force to social peace, a love which must promote order and justice within societal life. Irrespective of its heavenly orientation, these teachings are significantly context-bound, like every theological and philosophical endeavour that concerns and connects the human person to its earthly realities. Contextualising these concepts within human existence flows from a social, religious and political assessment. It tends primarily towards moral benefits and social norms that must not lose sight of the spiritual reality, which enlightens and build good moral conscience that impacts virtues and values in society.
