This book offers the first sustained, full-length treatment of the
wide-ranging work of major Anglican theologian Oliver O’Donovan.
Analyzing such key texts as Resurrection and Moral Order, The
Desire of the Nations and Ethics as Theology, Samuel Tranter shows
that the relationship between eschatology and ethics is an area of
significant tension in O’Donovan’s evolving vision of moral
theology. Tranter traces this tension as it relates to
O’Donovan’s writing and contemporary discussion around natural
law, divine command and human flourishing, as well as to particular
topics such as poverty, marriage and singleness and biotechnology.
He also connects it with the broader doctrinal features of
O’Donovan’s project, such as his accounts of creation, sin and
redemption, and his understanding of the relationships between the
cross and the resurrection, on one hand, and Christology and
pneumatology, on the other. Throughout, Tranter indicates the
implications of these themes for our understanding of the Christian
life. This volume establishes and evaluates O’Donovan’s
influence on contemporary Christian ethicists and political
theologians (such as Luke Bretherton, Gilbert Meilaender, Jean
Porter and Brent Waters), and engages with critical readings of
O’Donovan (such as those by Stanley Hauerwas and Gerald McKenny).
In conversation with these and other voices from a range of
perspectives, Tranter shows how O’Donovan’s proposals may be
appropriated and amended as a resource for theology and ethics
going forward.
