Hovorun outlines forms of political orthodoxy in Orthodox churches, past and present and draws a big picture of religion being politicized and even weaponized. Following his analysis, Hovorun suggests ways to bring political Orthodoxy back to the apostolic and patristic track.
The book advocates for a shift from conventional biomedical ethics to a decision-making process grounded in relational ontology. By engaging with the theological ethics of Karl Barth and various other thinkers, Moyse explores how this approach can reshape ethical considerations in modern contexts. The focus on relationality suggests a more nuanced understanding of ethical dilemmas, emphasizing interconnectedness over universal principles.
