In the world's most developed democracies, anxiety about the future of democracy itself is palpable. The tension between moral aspiration and moral despair in modern political life has reached a point of crisis. Christian Realism arose during a similar time of crisis, when Reinhold Niebuhr used the insights of the Christian tradition to interpret the clash between democracy and totalitarianism in the first half of the 20th century. Beginning with Robin Lovin's account of Niebuhr's Christian realism as a nuanced blend of theological, moral, and political realisms, The Future of Christian Realism directly addresses fundamental topics in theology, ethics and politics. The contributors of this volume come from different traditions, span five continents, and together present a case for the continuing relevance of Christian realism. By paying close attention to many of the most pressing moral challenges facing societies today, the authors illustrate and evaluate the relevance of Christian realism in the contemporary world.

A comprehensive and authoritative collection on Christian Ethics with contributions from a diverse range of leading figures in the field. Unlike existing titles, this handbook focuses on Christian Ethics in a global context and is a thoroughly up-to-date analysis of the field with coverage of cutting-edge topics. The Routledge Handbook of Christian Ethics is an outstanding reference source to key topics, problems and debates in the field.

Adultery, divorce, racism, teen pregnancy, white-collar crime, living wills-these are among the many complex moral issues that Christians face and for which they often seek guidance from their pastors. This book is designed to assist pastors in developing their skills in providing moral guidance to their parishioners in a culture characterized by both ethical confusion and increasingly complex moral choices. Rebekah Miles, a gifted thinker and writer, guides the reader through the landscape of the moral life and offers a simple but profound map of the moral terrain along with practical tools to enable pastoral caregivers to serve more effectively as moral guides.

In this constructive study, Miles proposes a new feminist theological ethic, drawing together the contributions of Reinhold Niebuhr, Sharon Welch, and Rosemary Ruether. Seeking to critically reappropriate the Christian realism articulated by Niebuhr, she reinterprets solutions to problems emergent from his theology. Miles presents feminist Christian realism as an alternative that can reclaim a positive interpretation of divine transcendence and human self-transcendence, while maintaining newer emphases on human boundedness and divine immanence. Theologians and ethicists will find her critical reassessment of the three authors distinctive and her challenging proposal for a "positive creative transformation" a significant contribution to the development of feminist ethics.

This work provides a comprehensive description and analysis of the decision process at UNCLOS III and shows how the 1982 Convention on the Law of the Sea was determined by that process. As such, the work complements a large number of substantive legal commentaries on the convention by providing a detailed description and analysis of how the various components of the Convention were shaped, including the major and minor trade-offs, the impacts of different negotiating strategies, the impacts of interpersonal, interdelegation and intercoalition interactions, and the lessons UNCLOS III teaches us about the capacity of the international system to manage and regulate the use of a global common.
