The sources of public morality are an increasingly pressing issue
within philosophical and theological ethics. This book presents
essays, covering a broad spectrum of the various aspects of this
problematic question, by some of the leading scholars in the field.
The essays address various approaches and traditions. Most were
first presented as lectures at a Societas Ethica conference in
Berlin during August 2001; others are presented here for the first
time. Sven Andersen teaches systematic theology at Aarhus
University, Denmark, Centre for Bioethics. Ulrich Nissen teaches
systematic theology at Aarhus University. Lars Reuter teaches
systematic theology at Aarhus University.
Ulrik Nissen addresses the difficulty that contemporary theology
faces in trying to find a way to maintain both all the shared goods
we cherish as political beings, and the call for Christians to be a
particular people in the world and bear witness to Christ. Nissen
stresses that Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Christological ethics allows
for a polemical unity between the reality of the world and the
reality of God, reconciled in the reality of Christ. Based on a
series of case studies that provide a point of departure for a
robust reshaping of Christian humanism and responsibility, Nissen
reads Bonhoeffer's ethics in the light of both his Lutheran
heritage and contemporary challenges, highlighting the importance
of his thought for political theology. By demonstrating the
significant influence of Lutheran and Chalcedonian Christology in
contemporary ethics, Nissen provides a robust argument for a love
of the common reality we share as human beings, and a call for
Christians to bear witness to Christ in the public world.
