This book was released on 2007 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last section of the dissertation examines the extent to which Ramsey's and Niebuhr's analysis during the Vietnam War reflected the strengths and weaknesses of their moral frameworks. The two moral conceptions of war developed by these theologians, I argue, shaped their analyses in ways that ought to inform later theologians and ethicists that work within the terms Niebuhr and Ramsey provided.
Download or read book Power and Purpose written by Adam Edward Hollowell and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-26 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not long ago, Paul Ramsey (1913-1988) was a leading voice in North American Christian ethics. Today, however, his intellectual legacy is in question, and his work is largely ignored by current scholars in the field. Against the tide of that neglect, Adam Edward Hollowell argues in Power and Purpose that Ramsey's work can still yield considerable insight for contemporary Christian political theology. Hollowell shows the influences of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Karl Barth on Ramsey's early work; discusses his conversations with political theologians of his generation, including Reinhold and Richard Niebuhr and Joseph Fletcher; considers his influence on the early virtue theory of Jean Porter and Oliver O'Donovan; and places Ramsey's work in conversation with more recent voices in Christian ethics, including John Bowlin, Jennifer Herdt, Charles Mathewes, Eric Gregory, and Daniel Bell. Hollowell thus forges new connections between Ramsey and contemporary debates in political theology on such issues as political authority, power, just war, and torture. Hollowell's Power and Purpose also revisits well-known aspects of Ramsey's work -- for example, his insistence on the political significance of God's covenant with creation -- and offers an original account of the role of judgment in his theology of repentance. The book dedicates considerable attention to Ramsey's description of practical reasoning and highlights his commitment to the virtues, especially prudence. This accessible introduction to Paul Ramsey will appeal to a wide swath of scholars and students in Christian ethics and political theology.

Download or read book Reinhold Niebuhr and the Issues of Our Time written by Richard Harries and published by William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company. This book was released on 1986 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the realm of public affairs, Reinhold Niebuhr has been the most influential theologian of our century. Although Niebuhr died in 1971, the issues he confronted- war and peace, revolution and nuclear weapons, intervention and monetarism - continued to dominate the 1980’s, and many feel the increasing lack of what Richard Harries calls “a Niebuhrian dimension” to the debates. In this book, a distinguished group of academic writers discuss current issues, both intellectual and practical, and ask what light Niebuhr can shed on them. The result is a thought-provoking and stimulating collection of essays.

Download or read book Paul Ramsey s Ethics written by Michael McKenzie and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2001 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the moral philosophy of Paul Ramsey—one of the 20th century's most influential ethicists—from a theological perspective illustrating that religion can still play a substantial role in our ongoing moral inquiries. Ramsey wrote prodigiously on ethical issues including politics, medical research, the Vietnam war, and nuclear proliferation. His ethical theory, which concentrates on divine love, or `agape,' as well as justice and order, provides a middle ground between fundamentalism and secularism. Therefore, Ramsey's ethics will appeal to the 21st-century social conscience. McKenzie grounds his theological exploration in a comprehensive history of the theological and philosophical influences on Ramsey's thought, including Jonathan Edwards' theory of natural morality. He also explores a multidisciplinary selection of Ramsey's writings. In conclusion, McKenzie argues that Ramsey's natural law theory will continue to have significant and increasing relevance for morality in the postmodern world. This is the most thorough study of Paul Ramsey's work as well as a significant contribution to philosophy and theology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reinhold Niebuhr was a theologian, writer, and public intellectual who influenced religious leaders and social activists in the United States over four crucial decades in the middle of the twentieth century. The Oxford Handbook of Reinhold Niebuhr traces the development of his work through those years and provides an introduction to the dialogue partners and intellectual adversaries whom he influenced and who shaped his own thinking. It deals with major topics in theology and ethics, providing systematic focus to Niebuhr's wide-ranging works that were directed to many different audiences. Later chapters examine Niebuhr's contributions to political thinking and policy making on issues including international relations, pacifism and the use of force, racial and economic justice, family life and gender equality, and environmental concerns. The concluding section examines Niebuhr's legacy and continuing influence.
Download or read book Reinhold Niebuhr and Contemporary Politics written by Richard Harries and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-03-25 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Barack Obama praised the writings of philosopher theologian Reinhold Niebuhr in the run up to the 2008 US Presidential Elections, he joined a long line of top politicians who closely engaged with Niebuhr's ideas, including Tony Benn, Jimmy Carter, Martin Luther King Jr. and Dennis Healey. Beginning with his early ministry amongst industrial workers in early twentieth century Detroit, Niebuhr displayed a passionate commitment to social justice that infused his life's work. Rigorously championing 'Christian Realism' he sought a practically orientated intellectual engagement with the political challenges of his day. His ideas on International Relations have also helped to shape debate amongst leading academic thinkers and policy makers. In both Christian and secular contexts he continues to attract new readers today. In this timely re-evaluation both critics and disciples of Niebuhr's work reflect on his notable contribution to Christian social ethics, the Christian doctrine of humanity, and the engagement of Christian thought with contemporary politics. The authors bring a wide range of expertise from both sides of the Atlantic, indicating how a re-evaluation of Niebuhr's thought can help inform contemporary debates on Christian social ethics and other wider theological issues.
Download or read book American Protestant Ethics and the Legacy of H Richard Niebuhr written by William Werpehowski and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2002-09-20 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this careful analysis and evaluation of the monumental influence of Niebuhr, Werpehowski traces four streams that flow from Niebuhr's theology, particularly as it deals with ethics. In a tightly knit and comprehensive investigation of the work of four contemporary ethicists, important in their own right, Paul Ramsey, Stanley Hauerwas, James Gustafson, and Kathryn Tanner, Werpehowski explores how the legacy of Niebuhr has made an impact on their thought and work. He presents a clear, concise, nuanced, analytical criticism of the development of the four ethicist's construction of ethics-and does it in a way that interweaves and puts the four into a dialogue and conversation with Niebuhr and each other. Addressing a number of substantive issues, including the viability of just war tradition and the relationship between "church" and "world," American Protestant Ethics and the Legacy of H. Richard Niebuhr demonstrates that Christian ethics operates within a set of polar tensions and that such "conversations" as are developed within need to be a part of moral discourse inside and between a variety of communities of faith.
