Reenvisioning Christian Ethics

Christian ethics is a wide and varied field; so diverse are the methods and approaches theological perspectives and starting points and scopes of inquiry and purposes-dare we even call it a discipline?-that the field is rarely considered as a whole. Christian ethics includes historical descriptive critical constructive and applied projects on countless topics. Lending creative energy to this field of study are a range of partner disciplines including most prominently theology philosophy and sociology each containing multiple schools themselves. To envision the entire field of Christian ethics is a difficult task; to reenvision the entire field may perhaps be impossible for one person. Thus this publication includes original research by multiple scholars each offering a distinct perspective from their primary partner discipline. Chapters include Roman Catholic and Protestant voices from Europe Asia and North America. In aggregate these writings contribute to a composite reenvisioning of Christian ethics refracting our collective vision through the prisms of diverse academic and methodological perspectives in this vast field of inquiry study and practice.
