DESCRIPTION:
Coleman, and Mary McClintock Fulkerson on the other, author Karen V. Extending the strong contextual work of theologians like Robin W. In doing so, the work displays an innovative method that enables a vivid, collaborative vision of Christian politics.. to identify new trajectories for future work in Christian ethics. In contemporary reflection on Christianity and politics, the work of realist, witness, and feminist theologians has been done in isolation—that is, each school has largely pursued its projects without incorporating the insights of the others. Lovin and Stanley Hauerwas on one hand, and Kathryn Tanner, Monica A. By fostering constructive dialogue between these pivotal public theologians of the twentieth century, their contemporary representatives, and the vanguard voices in feminist and womanist theology, Guth identifies ecclesiology as a new agenda for realist theologians, feminism as a vital form of Christian politics for witness theologians, and "creative maladjustment" as a productive theological stance for all Christian ethicists. Guth engages the theologies of prominent public theologians Reinhold Niebuhr, John Howard Yoder, and Martin Luther King Jr. Christian Ethics at the Boundary offers the first approach to public and political theology developed at the boundaries that separate these approaches
"Wachet Auf!" Stanley Crowe Karen Guth’s interesting book is an effort to get some new blood flowing through the sclerotic discourse of American Protestant theology, and I assume that her interest in doing so is motivated by her interest in Christian Ethics. If ethics is to mean anything, it has to entail ideas of responsibility, and it would seem that, in Guth’s eyes, too much Christian discourse has become ossified into fixed ideological positions and has become too inflexible to be of much use in thinking about what the responsibilities of the Church are – and it is the Church’s responsibilities that have to be engaged with before
