Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Reconciling Religion and Human Rights: Faith in
Book SynopsisProjecting a global interdisciplinary vision, this insightful book develops a peer-to-peer learning methodology to facilitate reconciling religion and human rights, both in multilateral contexts and at the national level. Written by leading human rights practitioners, the book illuminates the tension zones between religion and rights, exploring how the ‘faith’ elements in both disciplines can create synergies for protecting equal human dignity.Ibrahim Salama and Michael Wiener analyse the place of religion in multilateral practice, including lessons learned from the ‘Faith for Rights’ framework. Based on the jurisprudence of international human rights mechanisms, the book clarifies ambiguities of human rights law on religion. It also unpacks the potential positive role of non-State actors in the religious sphere, demonstrating that the relationship between religion and human rights is not a zero-sum game. Ultimately, the book empowers actors on both sides of the ideological fence between religion and human rights to deconstruct this artificial, politically instrumentalized dichotomy.This innovative book will be a vital resource for faith-based actors, human rights defenders and policymakers working at the intersection between religion, culture and human rights. With the co-authors’ commentary on the #Faith4Rights toolkit, it will also be invaluable for peer-to-peer learning facilitators, scholars and students of human rights law, public international law and religious studies.Trade Review‘This book gives a carefully considered account of seeking to bring about sustainable human rights change in a particularly polarised space, inverting the contention around religion and human rights to set out an approach for the positive role of faith-based actors in advancing human rights.’ -- Nazila Ghanea, University of Oxford, UK‘The foundational concept of an "inherent dignity ... of all members of the human family" (1948 UDHR) deeply resonates in various religious and philosophical teachings. Ibrahim Salama and Michael Wiener demonstrate how we can effectively benefit from faith traditions in today's fight for universal rights across boundaries. A book both profound and highly practical!’ -- Heiner Bielefeldt, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany and former UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief‘This book offers a holistic approach to the relationship between religion and human rights. Holistic is an often overused, and at times, misleading adjective. This is not the case with this book. It offers solutions without undermining inherent challenges present in these fields. It explores the relationship between religion and all human rights, not only freedom of religion or belief. It can be a powerful tool for believers, as well as agnostics and atheists. It also provides a framework to equip not only religious leaders but also—as I have repeatedly employed in various situations—judges, politicians, and other civil servants who frequently struggle with these issues. While a comprehensive analysis and framework in this area may appear overly ambitious, the authors have vast expertise on the topic and have successfully tested its framework. Therefore, this book is a must-read for anyone working on the intersection of human rights and religion.’ -- Thiago Alves Pinto, University of Oxford, UK‘One of the most authoritative reflections on the linkages between the realms of faith and the imperatives of human rights. This is not only conceptually well-argued, but is a roadmap to human rights, achieved through a model we pioneered for UN outreach with faith actors: peer to peer learning.’ -- Azza Karam, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Religions for Peace InternationalTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Ave Maria University Press Transformed in Christ: Essays in the Renewal of
Book SynopsisIn calling for a renewal of moral theology, the Second Vatican Council also charted a course for the Church’s future. The Decree on Priestly Formation specified the need for “livelier contact with the mystery of Christ and the history of salvation” and called for the discipline to be “more thoroughly nourished by scriptural teaching.” To this can be added the teaching of the Pastoral Constitution on the Church, which found the mystery of the human person disclosed in the person of Christ, and the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church’s recovery of the universal call to holiness. The essays in this volume reflect an effort to explore and respond to these hallmarks of renewal indicated by the Council fathers. They therefore treat topics of theological anthropology, the use of Scripture, and growth in holiness through the pursuit of virtue, and also engage the increasingly important question of the role of Scripture in moral theology. These sources of Catholic moral teaching are brought to bear on a variety of pressing contemporary issues: sexual difference, the relationship of sexual expression to marital commitment, methods of family planning, reproductive technologies, and public moral discussion of abortion. Important figures of this postconciliar renewal—such as Alasdair MacIntyre, Servais Pinckaers, OP, Benedict XVI, and particularly John Paul II—figure prominently in this volume. Drawing on these outstanding thinkers, these essays seek to follow the course of renewal illumined by the Council so as, in the words of Optatum totius, no. 16, “to shed light on the loftiness of the calling of the faithful in Christ and the obligation that is theirs of bearing fruit in charity for the life of the world.”

Oxford University Press Biblical Prophets and Contemporary Environmental Ethics
Book SynopsisIn the context of growing concern over climate change and other environmental pressures, Biblical Prophets and Contemporary Environmental Ethics explores what an ecological reading of the biblical text can contribute to contemporary environmental ethics. The Judaeo-Christian tradition has been held partly to blame for a negative attitude to creation - one that has legitimised the exploitative use of the earth''s resources. Hilary Marlow explores some of the thinking in the history of the Christian tradition that has contributed to such a perception, before discussing a number of approaches to reading the Old Testament from an ecological perspective. Through a detailed exegetical study of the texts of the biblical prophets Amos, Hosea and First Isaiah, Marlow examines the portrayal of the relationship between YHWH the God of Israel, humanity and the non-human creation. In the course of this exegesis, searching questions emerge: what are the various understandings of the non-human creaTrade ReviewThe book provides excellent background for anyone working or teaching in the area of Bible and ecology. It covers much groundhistorically, theologically, and exegeticallywith admirable brevity and great clarity; the superb bibliography points the way for further work * Ellen F. Davis, Interpretation *anyone working in the field of the Bible and environment will welcome this addition to the scholarly literature. * J. W. Rogerson, Journal of Theological Studies *Marlow offers a biologically rich and morally sensitive account of the themes of the earth ... The book is beautifully produced, clearly and engagingly written and richly researched and makes an important contribution to the ongoing reocvery of the Old Testament as a source of ecological wisdom rather than of odium. * Michael Northcott, Expository Times *Table of ContentsForeword by John Barton ; Introduction ; 1.

Taylor & Francis The Disappearance of Moral Knowledge
Book SynopsisBased on an unfinished manuscript by the late philosopher Dallas Willard, this book makes the case that the 20th century saw a massive shift in Western beliefs and attitudes concerning the possibility of moral knowledge, such that knowledge of the moral life and of its conduct is no longer routinely available from the social institutions long thought to be responsible for it. In this sense, moral knowledgeâas a publicly available resource for livingâhas disappeared. Via a detailed survey of main developments in ethical theory from the late 19th through the late 20th centuries, Willard explains philosophyâs role in this shift. In pointing out the shortcomings of these developments, he shows that the shift was not the result of rational argument or discovery, but largely of arational social forcesâin other words, there was no good reason for moral knowledge to have disappeared.The Disappearance of Moral Knowledge is a unique contribution to the literature on the history of ethics and social morality. Its review of historical work on moral knowledge covers a wide range of thinkers including T.H Green, G.E Moore, Charles L. Stevenson, John Rawls, and Alasdair MacIntyre. But, most importantly, it concludes with a novel proposal for how we might reclaim moral knowledge that is inspired by the phenomenological approach of Knud Logstrup and Emmanuel Levinas. Edited and eventually completed by three of Willardâs former graduate students, this book marks the culmination of Willardâs project to find a secure basis in knowledge for the moral life.The Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

It is essential reading for all who wish to understand the broad cultural drift away from moral knowledge in the twentieth century and for all who wish to contribute to the recovery of moral knowledge in the twenty-first century." – Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews"The Disappearance of Moral Knowledge by the late Professor Willard is a major contribution to the history of twentieth century analytic ethics as well as an incisive analysis of the possibility of moral knowledge. Porter et al. have done magnificent editorial work and have facilitated an invaluable contribution to the literature. This book surely will stand out as one of the most important contributions to the epistemology of ethics." – John H.
