Community, Liberalism and Christian Ethics

Community, Liberalism and Christian Ethics by David Fergusson

This book explores some issues on the borderland between moral philosophy and Christian theology. Particular attention is paid to the issues at stake between liberals and communitarians and the dispute between realists, non-realists and quasi-realists. In the course of the discussion the writings of Alasdair MacIntyre, George Lindbeck and Stanley Hauerwas are examined. While sympathetic to many of the typical features of post-liberalism, the argument is critical at selected points in seeking to defend realism and accommodate some aspects of liberalism. The position that emerges is more neo-Barthian than post-liberal. In maintaining the distinctiveness of Christian ethics and community, the book also seeks to acknowledge common moral ground held by those within and without the church.

'This is a tightly argued monograph which makes a significant contribution to the growing prestigious Cambridge series of New Studies in Christian EthicsA book for students of theology and of philosophy, and for the library shelves of all theological colleges.' Church Times
