Globalization is a reality in today's world, and with it comes the
universalization of the influence of certain Powers and
Authorities. These Authorities Education, Law, Medicine, Technology
distance people from, and sometimes override the duties of,
familial and religious connections and have generated new spheres
of loyalty and practice that are touchstones for modern life as a
whole.
The contributors claim that the Authorities of modernity depend
upon spiritual themes and insights. However, they note, these
authorities lack a conscious moral rudder because they are not only
ignorant of their roots, but because they have often repudiated
them, leaving these professions morally and spiritually vacuous.
The essayists claim that theological and ethical resources
Christian in root, public in character, and universal in
implication can re-engage these Authorities and offer them
guidance.
Contributors to the volume include: Richard Osmer (Princeton
Theological Seminary); John Witte, Jr. (Emory University); Allen
Verhey (Hope College); Ronald Cole-Turner (Pittsburgh Theological
Seminary); Jurgen Moltmann (University of Tubingen); and Peter
Paris (Princeton Theological Seminary). Max L. Stackhouse is the
Stephen Colwell Professor of Christian Ethics at Princeton
Theological Seminary and is the author of Christian Social Ethics
in a Global Era. Don S. Browning teaches at the Divinity School of
the University of Chicago and is the author of Religious Thought
and the Modern Psychologies: A Critical Conversation in the
Theology of Culture.
