The Divine Imperative A Study in Christian Ethics

Paperback200 pagina’sEngelsInternationale bron
"What ought we to do?" is the guiding question of Emil Brunner's The Divine Imperative. Here this age-old question is taken up by Brunner and is answered in light of his Reformed Christian theology. Dubbed a "Protestant Ethic", The Divine Imperative is a systematic ethical treatise, and for Brunner the first to be centred around the Reformed faith. Here Brunner lays the groundwork for a Christian conception of the moral life in a world where morality itself is often doubted or denied. Animated by the need to respond to an encroaching moral relativism, where many believe that there is no true Right nor Wrong, no true Good nor Evil, Brunner provides an answer to the problem of ethics and morality in the modern age. In doing so, Brunner engages with a wide range of theoretical and practical issues: from philosophy's rationalisation of morality, to the crisis of marriage, to the task of the Christian living under capitalism.
