Does theological ethics articulate moral norms with the assistance
of moral philosophy? Or does it leave that task to moral philosophy
alone while it describes a distinctively Christian way of acting or
form of life? These questions lie at the very heart of theological
ethics as a discipline. Karl Barth's theological ethics makes a
strong case for the first alternative. Karl Barth's Moral Thought
follows Barth's efforts to present God's grace as a moral norm in
his treatments of divine commands, moral reasoning, responsibility,
and agency. It shows how Barth's conviction that grace is the norm
of human action generates problems for his ethics at nearly every
turn, as it involves a moral good that confronts human beings from
outside rather than perfecting them as the kind of creature they
are. Yet it defends Barth's insistence on the right of theology to
articulate moral norms, and it shows how Barth may lead theological
ethics to exercise that right in a more compelling way than he did.
