This collection focuses on the meaning of the common good and what
resources Christian theology, biblical studies, and ethics might
contribute to our understanding of it. The rationale for the
discussion is ultimately theological. Whether under the formal
rubric of "common good" discourse or not, the meaning of a
commitment to community and the duties and claims of the individual
related to the community have never been more pressing concerns. We
must recognize that the thinking about the common good is intrinsic
to the very character of Christian faith and the ethos it invokes.
The biblical vision is in a most profound way a vision of the
common good. Whether expressed in notions of justice and mercy, the
care of the weak, covenantal living, or the new Jerusalem, the
meaning of being human and living with the neighbor are so
intrinsically bound together that there is no escaping involvement
in the search for the common good in our time.
