Augustinian and Ecclesial Christian Ethics by D Stephen Long
Should Christian ethics be an ecclesial or a nationalist project? This book addresses this question by tracing the development of an Augustinian and ecclesial approach to Christian ethics, noting the critiques the former brings against the latter, and assessing their merits.
This book, copious in detail and heavily footnoted, is an indispensable guide to scholars seeking to make their way through the thickets of these two approaches in Christian ethics. . [it's] a wonderful resource, and should be required reading for those involved in sorting out the complex questions of what Christian participation in the life of the world looks like. * Reading Religion *
With mentors and peers in either approach to Christian ethics and political theology--the new Augustinians and the ecclesial project--I have felt like a chimera while attempting to sort through their respective strengths and weaknesses, points and counterpoints, subtleties and nuances. With this comprehensive and incisive text, D. Stephen Long judiciously and coherently advances this momentous interchange. I gratefully and enthusiastically recommend! -- Tobias Winright, Hubert Mäder Chair of Health Care Ethics, Saint Louis University
Managing to sustain a single well-construed argument throughout, D. Stephen Long defends an ecclesially-centered Augustinian politics against rival ways of appropriating Augustine for late modern political orders. The real benefit of this impressive work is the patience and charity (even friendship) that runs through it, embodying the politics it champions and giving us hope for how these conversations can go. -- Jonathan Tran
