Description
Widely respected as one of today's wisest and most articulate Christianethicists, Oliver O'Donovan here explores the nature of personal and political behavior as it is or should be informed by Christian love.This profound look at contemporary life focuses on how moral reflection upon common objects of love has an effect on organized community in grandest terms, political society itself. O'Donovan begins with some lighthearted puzzles about teaching ethics and ends with an intense critique of the role of publicity in late-modern liberal culture. Showing, as Augustine believed, that we know only as we love, O'Donovan takes readers on a journey of thought through a series of current and historical issues ranging from the iconoclastic controversy of the ninth century to the terrible events of September 11, 2001. Based on the 2001 Stob Lectures at Calvin College, this volume will help readers learn how to think from truths of Christian faith to conclusions in Christian action. \\\Oliver O'Donovan
