- Zusatztext
- <span><span>Applied Christian Ethics</span><span> addresses selected themes in Christian social ethics. The book is divided in three parts. In the first section, Foundation, several contributors reveal their Christian realist roots and discuss the prophetic origins and multifarious agenda of social ethics. Thus, the names of Reinhold Niebuhr and Paul Tillich come up frequently. In the second section, Economics and Justice, the focus turns to the different levels at which economics has significance for social justice. These chapters discuss fair housing at the local level, the dialogue between Christians and Native Americans over property rights at the regional and national levels, and trade and international organization. In the third and final section, Politics, War, and Peacemaking, the content ranges from the existential experience of a soldier to that of a veteran of civil rights activism, from theorizing about peacemaking to commenting on the use of drones.</span></span>
