Scripture, Tradition, and Reason in Christian Ethics

More about the book

This volume brings together emerging religious ethicists to engage the normative dimensions of Christian ethics. The volume is divided into three sections. In the first section, "Scriptural Foundations," contributors engage with the scriptural foundations of Christian ethics, drawing from both historical and contemporary thinkers. In the second section, "Reason and Tradition," contributors explore the putative divide between reason and tradition, autonomy, and heteronomy. In the third and final section, "Reason," contributors offer proposals about the normative characterization of conceptual and practical issues in contemporary religious ethics. Collectively, the volume engages Christian thought in order to make an argument for the continuing relevance of normative methodologies in contemporary religious and theological ethics.
