Book Synopsis The Common Good and Christian Ethics by : David Hollenbach
Download or read book The Common Good and Christian Ethics written by David Hollenbach. This book was released on 2002-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Common Good and Christian Ethics rethinks the ancient tradition of the common good in a way that addresses contemporary social divisions, both urban and global. David Hollenbach draws on social analysis, moral philosophy, and theological ethics to chart new directions in both urban life and global society. He argues that the division between the middle class and the poor in major cities and the challenges of globalisation require a new commitment to the common good and that both believers and secular people must move towards new forms of solidarity.

Book Synopsis Christians and the Common Good by : Charles Gutenson
Download or read book Christians and the Common Good written by Charles Gutenson. This book was released on 2011-03-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians across the spectrum have soured on religious involvement in politics, tempted either to withdraw or to secularize their public engagement. Yet the kingdom of God is clearly concerned with justice and communal well-being. How can Christians be active in public life without getting mired down in political polarization and controversy? For too long, the question of faith in public life has centered on what the Bible says about government. Charles Gutenson, a theologian respected by both evangelical and mainline Christians, argues that we should first ask how God intends for us to live together before considering the public policies and institutions that would best empower living together in that way. By concentrating on the nature of God, we can move past presuppositions regarding the role of government and engage in healthy discussions about how best to serve the common good. This lucidly written book includes a foreword by bestselling author Jim Wallis.
