Maureen Junker-Kenny offers a systematic overview of the discipline
of theological ethics in the variety of its approaches which draw
upon different philosophical traditions and theological visions in
treating its sources. Part One examines the four sources of
theological ethics: the Bible, tradition, philosophical accounts of
the human, and the individual human sciences. Part Two compares
five frameworks in English- and German-speaking theological ethics,
based on virtue, worship, natural law, autonomy, and feminist
analyses. Part Three compares three types of vision - integralist,
praxis-oriented, and discourse-focused, and concludes by situating
the investigation of the discipline within contemporary
philosophical and theological exchanges on religion in the public
sphere. The book provides a framework in which students can locate
the specific use of core ethical concepts and argumentations,
comparing how each approach relates to the Bible, to historical
reason, theological thought, practical self-understandings and
interdisciplinary perspectives on ethics in a scientific and
technological culture. In an age of globalization where different
cultures, religions, lifestyles and values meet in the workplace,
in schools, and in public spaces shaped by religious and cultural
traditions, it is necessary to foster the ability to create
possibilities and venues for dialogue between different
self-understandings. Analysing the variety of approaches to
theological ethics helps articulate different visions of what
constitutes a fulfilled life, of how the moral vocation of each
human being can be supported, and of the role of the Christian
faith for ethics.
