Longing for the Good Life: Virtue Ethics after Protestantism

Pieter Vos, Protestant Theological University, The Netherlands Pieter Vos argues that Protestant theological ethics not only reveal basic virtue ethical characteristics, but also contribute significantly to a viable contemporary virtue ethics. He demonstrates that post-Reformation theological ethics still understands the good in terms of the good life, takes virtues as necessary for living the good life and considers human nature as a source of moral knowledge. Vos offers a fresh understanding of virtue ethics in the Protestant tradition and brings core Protestant theological concepts in critical dialogue with contemporary virtue ethics and philosophy of the art of living.

Oliver O'Donovan's Moral Theology

Tensions and Triumphs

Samuel Tranter, Durham University, UK This is the first sustained, full-length treatment of the wide-ranging work of major Anglican theologian Oliver O’Donovan.

Gnosis and the Theocrats from Mars

Francesca Aran Murphy, University of Notre Dame, USA This Christian homage to Persig's allegorical novel provides a creative and highly imaginative critical theological genealogy of modern secular reason and the nature of modernity more generally. Murphy’s method is unique: she uses artificial intelligence as her framing parable, analyzing the nature and limits of the robotic ‘reasoning’ of several AI characters. This enables her to develop several interrelated themes, with further didactic chapters offering a mytho-poetic retelling of human history. The end result is an unusual and compelling exploration of rationality and fundamental theological anthropology.

David Jones and the Craft of Theology

Becoming Beauty

Elizabeth R Powell, Durham University, UK This imaginative exploration of the art of David Jones addresses Christian teaching anew, through engagement with selected artistic works: a poem, a painted inscription, and a wood engraving. Powell’s study helps readers, not merely to understand Jones, but to carry out this kind of loving attention themselves — arguably what Jones considered to be theology’s most important task.

Reading with Earth: Contributions of the New Materialism to an Ecological Feminist Hermeneutics

Anne Elvey, University of Divinity, Australia Applying a re-envisioned ecological feminist hermeneutics, this book builds on two important responses to 20th and 21st century situations of ecological trauma, especially the complex contexts of climate change and cross-species relations. The first is ecological feminism; the second, ecological hermeneutics in the Earth Bible tradition. Such an approach is both informed by and speaks back to the new materialism in ecological criticism.
