Book Description

June 1999 1889119032 978-1889119038 illustrated edition
This is the first substantial study in Christian Ethics to explore the problem of religion, plurality, and ethics. Why, asks the author, do different religions find it so hard to coexist together? In answering this question, the book ranges widely: culture, ethical method, the Christendom Group of T.S. Eliot, immigration, Rushdie and Islam, Bellah and "civil religion," Neuhaus and "public philosophy," MacIntyre and Milbank, the nature of truth and morality, and the political implications of postmodernism are all discussed.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...worth reading for its concise review of the basic arguments pertaining to pluralism and for Markham's clear, well-reasoned presentation of his own position." Pro Ecclesia

"...a remarkable new book....I am pleased to recommend it as one of the most intelligently provocative essays on religion and public life to have appeared in a long time." Richard John Neuhaus, First Things

"...Plurality of Christian Ethics is a worthwhile text. It is well-written and documented....an important contribution to Anglican theological studies. Additionally, it provides a useful alternative to both the modern secular approach to plurality and the Christian exclusivism..." Wendy Dackson, Journal of Church and State --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Book Description

The first substantial study in Christian Ethics to explore the problem of religion, plurality and ethics. Ian Markham argues that plurality is better safeguarded by a theistic, rather than a secularist, foundation, and shows that the religious affirmation of diversity offers genuine political possibilities in our post-modern world. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
