The experience of moral values is often side-lined in discussions
about moral reasoning, and yet our values define a large part of
our moral motives, standards and expectations. Theological Ethics
and Moral Value Phenomena explores whether the experience of a
meeting point of the immanent and the transcendent, i.e. the moral
self and God, can be the source of our values. The book starts by
arguing for a greater theological engagement with value ethics,
personalism and the phenomenological method by drawing on thinkers
such as Max Scheler and William James. It then provides an
understanding of the social and religious dimension of the valuing
person, demonstrating the importance of the emotional, as well as
the cognitive, dimension of value experience. Finally, this value
perspective is utilised to engage with current moral issues such as
professional ethics, environmental ethics, economical ethics and
family ethics. Integrating the concepts of religious experience,
moral motivation, and subjective and objective value within a broad
framework of Christian theology and philosophy, this is vital
reading for any scholar of Theology and Philosophy with an interest
in ethics and moral reasoning.

This open access book offers a multidisciplinary dialogue on
relational anthropology in contemporary economics. A particular
view of the human being is often assumed in economic models, but
seldom acknowledged let alone explicated. Addressing this neglected
area of research in economic studies, altogether the contributors
touch upon the importance and potential of virtues, the notions of
freedom and self-love, the potential of simulation models, the
dialectics of love, and questions of methodology in constructing a
relational anthropology for contemporary economics. The overall
result is a highly informative and constructive dialogue,
establishing inter alia a research agenda for future collaborative
and multidisciplinary study.

In today's world, many Christians don't know how to live ethically,
let alone know what ethics is. Christian ethics probes our deepest
sensibilities as humans and how we seek the good for others as well
as for ourselves as followers of Christ. This book begins to delve
into this relevant and contemporary subject through methodological
reflection on the commands, purposes, values, and virtues of
Christian life in today's context. To address these factors, an
integrative approach to ethics is proposed, borrowing from
classical ethical models such as consequential ethics, principle
ethics, virtue ethics, and value ethics. This is what the authors
call a matrix of Christian ethics. This matrix will be played out
in a variety of ways throughout the book, from the discussion of
the postmodern situation of ethics and values to current proposals
for the ongoing development of Christian ethics today. It concludes
with some practically oriented guidelines to help the reader
consider contemporary ethical questions and conflicts within a
framework of biblical wisdom, in view of the ongoing work of the
Holy Spirit in the lives of followers of Christ.
