This volume brings into dialogue the ancient wisdom of Augustine of
Hippo, a bishop of the early Christian Church of the fourth and
fifth centuries, with contemporary theologians and ethicists on the
topic of social justice. Each essay mines the major themes present
in Augustine's extensive corpus of writings-from his Confessions to
the City of God- with an eye to the following question: how can
this early church father so foundational to Christian doctrine and
teaching inform our twenty-first century context on how to create
and sustain a more just and equitable society? In his own day,
Augustine spoke to conditions of slavery, conflict and war,
violence and poverty, among many others. These conditions, while
reflecting the characteristics of our technological age, continue
to obstruct our collective efforts to bring about the common good
for the global human community. The contributors of this volume
have taken great care to read Augustine through the lens of his own
time and place; at the same time, they provide keen insights and
reflections which advance the conversation of social justice in the
present.
Business Ethics and Catholic Social Thought provides a new and
wide-ranging account of these two ostensibly divergent fields.
Focusing on the agency of the business person and the interests of
firms, this volume outlines fundamental issues confronting moral
leaders and corporations committed to responsible business
practices.
What might we learn if the study of ethics focused less on hard
cases and more on the practices of everyday life? In Everyday
Ethics, Michael Lamb and Brian Williams gather some of the
world’s leading scholars and practitioners of moral theology
(including some GUP authors) to explore that question in dialogue
with anthropology and the social sciences. Inspired by the work of
Michael Banner, these scholars cross disciplinary boundaries to
analyze the ethics of ordinary practices—from eating, learning,
and loving thy neighbor to borrowing and spending, using
technology, and working in a flexible economy. Along the way, they
consider the moral and methodological questions that emerge from
this interdisciplinary dialogue and assess the implications for the
future of moral theology.
