Applied Christian Ethics addresses selected themes in Christian
social ethics. The book is divided in three parts. In the first
section, "Foundation," several contributors reveal their Christian
realist roots and discuss the prophetic origins and multifarious
agenda of social ethics. Thus, the names of Reinhold Niebuhr and
Paul Tillich come up frequently. In the second section, "Economics
and Justice," the focus turns to the different levels at which
economics has significance for social justice. These chapters
discuss fair housing at the local level, the dialogue between
Christians and Native Americans over property rights at the
regional and national levels, and trade and international
organization. In the third and final section, "Politics, War, and
Peacemaking," the content ranges from the existential experience of
a soldier to that of a veteran of civil rights activism, from
theorizing about peacemaking to commenting on the use of drones.
How can Christians contribute to the debates about climate change
and global warming? What ethical criteria do they bring to the
conversation? How does the Bible figure in their deliberation?
Carol Robb brings together the several dimensions of this one
overarching issue of our lifetimes: hers is an ecological ethics in
theological perspective, and it integrates economic theory,
environmental policy, and most distinctively New Testament studies.
Alongside deliberation on scenarios for the future in light of
climate change and assessing criteria for ethical policy in this
area, she reflects on implications of the New Testament worldview
for ethics now. Relating Jesus' life, ministry, and teachings to
the resurrection, then probing how Paul and other early followers
of Jesus related to the empire, Robb provides a surprisingly
fruitful fund of ideas for Christian responsibility in this area.
This text is an exploration of economic discrimination against
women. Social ethics professor, Carol S. Robb, outlines the policy
and ethical reforms that could create a more just future.
