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.
The Haddam House Series On The Christian In His Vocation.
The Haddam House Series On The Christian In His Vocation.
In this timely, brief, and judicious reflection, Edward Long, a
senior scholar in Christian ethics, surveys the political,
religious, and moral dimensions of terrorism. Written accessibly
and going far beyond the dominant war versus pacifism discussion,
Facing Terrorism guides Christians through the many questions and
controversies surrounding this horrific phenomenon. From defining
terrorism and analyzing its causes to exploring the risks of
eroding civil liberties in protecting against terrorism and living
hopefully amidst fear, Long provides a thoughtful and informative
analysis that will aid countless Christians in discerning how to
respond to terrorism.
