Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Christian Ethics: History of Christian Ethics Before the Reformation Among the many obligations which contemporary Christendom owes to the German Theology of the Nineteenth Century, not the least of them is due to its earnest revival and methodical cultivation of Christian Ethics as an essential department of theological science. Christianity, as primarily and predominantly a moral religion, has never lost sight of its cardinal bearing on human life, but certain special circumstances connected with the Christian movement itself have contributed to impress on the best theology of our time a more distinctively ethical character and tendency. The ecclesiastical Dogmatics of the Protestant Churches, which so well served their day in maintaining the essential truth of the primitive Christianity, have not kept pace with the general movement of thought, nor even advanced in harmony with the progress of the intellectual and moral revolution from which they sprang. Dogmatic Theology has thus largely fallen into disrepute as an arrested development or a decaying survival; and it has but rarely struck new roots into the vital soil of the latest scientific culture. The rise and progress of an independent Biblical Criticism, and the more scientific methods of reaching the primitive forces and vitality of the early Church, have in consequence determined a new return to the evangelical fountains of life, and have largely superseded and antiquated the elaborate Symbolics of the different Churches.

The Ethics Of The Greek Church. 30. The Ethics of the Apologists of the Second Century. The Apologists of the second century likewise accentuate the novelty and sublimity of Christianity; and consequently they also speak in a similar way of the Christian morality. They thus represent it in contrast to the extra-Christian and preChristian morality, both Jewish and heathen; while, on the other hand, they lay stress upon its originality, and its connection with the truth of heathenism and Judaism. They express this in the notions of the Logos (Reason) and of the new Law; and they make prominent in Christianity the two sides of knowledge and morality, which have both their source in the grace of regeneration in baptism, but which at the same time require the free-will of man, whose conduct, springing from the motives of fear and hope, has to expect a corresponding recompense from God. Through such media did the Greek Christian seek to connect his new consciousness, both for himself and others, with his other world of Greek thought. 1. Justin Martyr (f c. 165) 1 in prosecuting his apologetic work is led to speak of the sublimity of the Christian morality in contrast to the heathen morality. In this behoof he refers to the moral alteration which had taken place through faith 1 Otto, Corpus apologetarum christianorum seculi secundi, Jen. 1876 sqq. Semisch, Justin d. M., 2 Bde.

Download or read book The Priestly Kingdom written by John Howard Yoder and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 1985-01-31 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume of essays John Howard Yoder projects a vision of Christian social ethics rooted in historical community and illuminated by scripture. Drawing upon scriptural accounts of the early church, he demonstrates the Christian community's constant need for reform and change. Yoder first examines the scriptural and theoretical foundations of Christian social ethics. While personally committed to the "radical reformation" tradition, he eschews "denominational" categorization and addresses Christians in general. The status of Christian community, he argues, cannot be separated from the doctrinal content of beliefs and the moral understanding of discipleship. As a result, the Christian's voluntary commitment to a particular community, as distinct from secular society, offers him valuable resources for practical moral reasoning. From a historical perspective, Yoder reviews the efforts of sixteenth-century radical (or Anabaptist) reformers to return to the fundamental ethical standards of the New Testament, and to disengage the community, as a biblically rooted call to faith that does not imply withdrawal from the pluralistic world. Rather, radical commitment to Christianity strengthens and renews the authentic human interests and values of the whole society. His analyses of democracy and of civil religion illustrate how Christianity must challenge and embrace the wider world.

Download or read book Introduction to Christian Ethics written by Friedrich Schleiermacher and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Friedrich Schleiermacher is commonly regarded as the father of modern liberal theology and the dominant Protestant theologian between the time of John Calvin and that of Karl Barth. Yet until now his comprehensive views on Christian ethics have never been published. Introduction to Christian Ethics makes available for the first time Schleiermacher's most definitive and fully realized views on this topic. Although he was a singularly prolific writer (he left behind him a collection of books, lectures, sermons, and letters that fill thirty volumes), Schleiermacher never himself prepared a manuscript on Christian Ethics for publication. Two previously published editions were based on lecture notes and student transcriptions. Introduction to Christian Ethics is taken from the edition that utilizes the lectures of 1826 and 1827, the lectures that Schleiermacher himself felt most adequately reflected his views on the subject.
