Table of contents

Richard Niebuhr is one of the towering forces of Christian theology - there can be no discussion of contemporary Protestant ethics without taking into account his contributions. In this analysis and evaluation of the monumental influence of Niebuhr, Werpehowski traces four streams that flow from Niebuhr's theology, particularly as it deals with ethics.

Werpehowski, William

In an investigation of the work of four contemporary ethicists important in their own right - Paul Ramsey, Stanley Hauerwas, James Gustafson, and Kathryn Tanner - Werpehowski explores how Niebuhr's legacy has made an impact on their thought and work. Richard Niebuhr reveals the interplay of intellectual and moral discourse between Niebuhr and today's ethicists. Questions in Christian ethics 2. A theology of permanent revolution 3. Love, justice, and the whole idea of God 4.

Love, Justice, and the Whole Idea of God 4. Political and Medical Ethics 5. Keeping Faith in Good Company 6. Politics, Creation, and Conversion 7. Let God Be God 8. Questions for Theocentric Ethics 9. Richard Niebuhr reveals the interplay of intellectual and moral discourse between Niebuhr and today's ethicists. Karl Barth and Christian ethics: The surprising relation of his 'divine command ethics' to contemporary 'narrative theology' and 'virtue ethics' and specific moral themes concerning bonds between parents and children, the nature of truth telling, and the meaning of Christian love of God and neighbor are all discussed.

This book reveals Barth's richness, depth, and insight, and places his work in constructive connection with salient themes in both Catholic and Protestant ethics. Attentive to the fullness of Barth's Christological vision and to the purposes and limits of his reflections on the Christian life in pursuit of the good, William Werpehowski also advances conversations in Christian ethics about the nature of practical deliberation and decision, the orientation and dispositions that embody moral faithfulness, and the question and features of 'natural morality.
