This book is a collection of specially commissioned chapters from
philosophers, economists, and political scientists, focusing on
Adam Smith's two main works Theory of Moral Sentiments and Wealth
of Nations with a view to bringing Smith to a mainstream philosophy
audience while simultaneously informing Smith's traditional
constituency.
In the liberal theological tradition dating from Schleiermacher,
Events of Grace, first published in 1996, demonstrates that the
Christian faith can be fully compatible with a scientific world
view. Religion and God must be understood valuationally, not
ontologically, which permits an existentialist account of faith
entirely in terms of modes of existing. Hardwick weds Bultmann's
demythologizing programme to Wieman's naturalistic concept of God
as creative transformation. Defending a strong doctrine of
justification by faith, he shows how both God and the knowledge of
God can be conceived in terms of events of grace that transform
possibilities of existence toward openness to the future. Events of
Grace gives a complete existential and naturalistic account of sin,
faith, God, the knowledge of God, Christology and the
eschatological symbols that articulate Christian hope in the
encounter with suffering and death.
