Self, World, and Time takes up the question of the form and matter of Christian ethics as an intellectual discipline. What is it about? How does Christian ethics relate to the humanities, especially philosophy, theology, and behavioral studies? How does its shape correspond to the shape of practical reason? In what way does it participate in the proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ?Oliver O'Donovan discusses ethics with self, world, and time as foundation poles of mor...

This is the second of three volumes in Oliver O'Donovan's masterful "Ethics as Theology" project. In his first volume -- Self, World, and Time -- O'Donovan discusses Christian ethics as an intellectual discipline in relation to the humanities, especially philosophy, theology, and behavioral studies, and in relation to the Christian gospel.In Finding and Seeking O'Donovan traces the logic of moral thought from self-awareness to decision through the virtues of faith,...

Oliver O'Donovan's Ethics as Theology project began with Self, World, and Time, an "induction" into Christian ethics as ordered reflection on moral thinking within the life of faith. Volume 2, Finding and Seeking, shifted the focus to the movement of moral thought from a first consciousness of agency to the time that determines the moment of decision.In this third and final volume of his magnum opus, O'Donovan turns his attention to the forward horizon with which m...

■《愛的共同體》由校園書房出版社、中國神學研究院聯合出版關於群體、倫理與政治，這個世代最需要的洞見群體是每個人生命中不可或缺的事物，不論那是民族、國家、政治組織或社團，我們似乎難以脫離群體或共同體的影響與形塑；如何歸屬其中，又不將群體的價值或信念加以絕對化或神聖化，我們都需要對於群體的本質有更深入的思考。在《愛的共同體》這本精練而深刻的經典之作中，福音派影響深遠的倫理學大師歐唐納文，從奧古斯丁神學傳統出發，闡明人類「分享相通」的本性和活動，乃是人類結成群體的基礎。原來，所珍愛的共同事物，是將群體連結在一起的原因。而在喜愛和認知之間存在著深層的聯合，並且此兩者將眾人聯合成為一個群體，深刻地形塑著它的生命型態。而群體所愛的事物愈美善，群體就愈趨向美善，反過來說，所愛的事物愈差劣，群體就愈差劣。作者在本書中反省到群體並非神聖絕對，不能將其偶像化，而應該看成是我們認識世界和鄰舍的窗戶。作者也敏銳地意識到，在現代社會中特有的分享相通模式，也就是由現代媒體透過新聞、廣告和娛樂的混雜傳播形式...

This can provide a cogent basis for thinking that t...
