During his papacy, Pope Benedict XVI was called 'the green pope'
because of his ecological commitments in his writings, statements,
and practical initiatives. Containing twelve essays by lay,
ordained, and religious Catholic theologians and scholars, along
with a presentation and a homily by bishops, Environmental Justice
and Climate Change: Assessing Pope Benedict XVI's Ecological Vision
for the Catholic Church in the United States explores four key
areas in connection with Benedict XVI's teachings: human and
natural ecology/human life and dignity; solidarity, justice,
poverty and the common good; sacramentality of creation; and our
Catholic faith in action. The product of mutual collaboration by
bishops, scholars and staff, this anthology provides the most
thorough treatment of Benedict XVI's contributions to ecological
teaching and offers fruitful directions for advancing concern among
Catholics in the United States about ongoing threats to the
integrity of Earth.
The T&T Clark Handbook of Christian Ethics provides an
ecumenical introduction to Christian ethics, its sources, methods,
and applications. With contributions by theological ethicists known
for their excellence in scholarship and teaching, the essays in
this volume offer fresh purchase on, and an agenda for, the
discipline of Christian ethics in the 21st century. The essays are
organized in three sections, following an introduction that
presents the four-font approach and elucidates why it is critically
employed through these subsequent sections. The first section
explores the sources of Christian ethics, including each of the
four fonts: scripture, tradition, experience, and reason. The
second section examines fundamental or basic elements of Christian
ethics and covers different methods, approaches, and voices in
doing Christian ethics, such as natural law, virtue ethics,
conscience, responsibility, narrative, worship, and engagement with
other religions. The third section addresses current moral issues
in politics, medicine, economics, ecology, criminal justice and
other related spheres from the perspective of Christian ethics,
including war, genetics, neuroethics, end-of-life decisions,
marriage, family, work, sexuality, nonhuman animals, migration,
aging, policing, incarceration, capital punishment, and more.
