Book Description
In recent years, studies in the eschatology and ethics of Jesus have provoked an unusual interest among Bible students. When talking about the coming of the kingdom, did Jesus mean that there would be a divine intervention or a catastrophe? If so, were his ethical teachings intended for an emergency situation--interim ethics? This book provides an admirable introduction to eschatology in general. Dr. Wilder argues for an interpretation of the evidence that maintains the full significance of Jesus: that his eschatology, far from being a liability, represents a true disclosure of human destiny, and that there is no contradiction between it and his ethical principles, which are of permanent validity.

Eschatology and Ethics
Author: Carl E. Braaten
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 172523825X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
"Carl Braaten has written an interesting book applying the eschatological perspective to different dimensions of the Christian faith, of the life of the church, and of Christian ethics. His extremely readable style leads to profound insight. I particularly like the chapter on the ministry and the wisdom of his reflections on ethical questions." Wolfhart Pannenberg, University of Munich "More than any other theologian today, Braaten successfully relates biblical faith and ethics to the whole spectrum of urgent current concerns." Richard H. Hiers, Dept. of Religion, University of Florida "Braaten rightly insists that the church has lost its eschatological 'bite,' and he does much toward recovering that loss." Gerhard O. Forde, Luther Theological Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota "This book continues Braaten's persistent effort to interpret vital human concerns by the promise that the Lord lives." Robert W. Jenson, Lutheran Theological Seminary, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

Jürgen Moltmann's Ethics of Hope
Author: Timothy Harvie
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317109988
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
This book develops a thorough account of the sphere of human moral action in sustained dialogue with Jürgen Moltmann. By examining God's role as promise-giver, particularly in the Christian understanding of resurrection, this work describes the occupancy of both history and space in moral terms. This leads to an understanding of Jesus' description of 'the kingdom of God' to feature prominently in describing both the possibility and content of human moral action. By offering an account of each of the main doctrines found in Moltmann's corpus - the role of the future, the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, and anthropology - this book locates how each contributes to the understanding of ethics from a Christian perspective and subsequently applies these findings to the contemporary issue of poverty and global economics.

Jesus and Virtue Ethics
Author: Daniel Harrington, SJ
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 9780742549944
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
Jesuits Daniel Harrington and James Keenan have successfully team-taught the content of this landmark study to the delight of students for years. In this book they take the fruits of their own experiences as theologians, writers, teachers, mentors, and friends to propose virtue ethics as a bridge between the fields of New Testament Studies and Moral Theology. Answering the call of the Second Vatican Council for moral theology to "draw more fully on the teaching of Holy Scripture," the authors examine the virtues that both flow from Scripture and provide a lens by which to interpret Scripture. By remaining true to both the New Testament's emphasis on the human response to God's gracious activity in Jesus Christ and to the ethical needs and desires of Christians in the twenty-first century, the authors address key topics such as discipleship, the Sermon on the Mount, love, sin, politics, justice, sexuality, marriage, divorce, bioethics, and ecology. Covering the entire sweep of ethical teaching from its foundations in Scripture and especially in Jesus' life, death, and resurrection to its goal or "end" with the full coming of God's kingdom, the authors invite readers more deeply into an appreciation of the central biblical themes and how, based on the themes, Catholic Christian moral theology bears on general ethical issues in culture. Complete with reflection questions and suggestions for further reading, this book is essential reading for professors, students, pastors, preachers, and interested Catholics.
