The Common Good and Christian Ethics (New Studies in Christian Ethics, Series Number 22)

Book is in good condition

Definitive

David Hollenbach draws on social analysis, moral philosophy, and theological ethics to chart new directions in both urban life and global society. He argues that the division between the middle class and the poor in major cities and the challenges of globalisation require a new commitment to the common good and that both believers and secular people must move towards new forms of solidarity. He teaches on need for tolerance for the different visions of the good life they hold.I would recommend the book to anyone who wants to understand today’s social, moral and theology ethics and get to know the cause of some of the problems in the modern world. I read the book for free. That was kind of you

I used this book for an ethics course I took in college. This book is horrible. I am usually positive, but this book just downright sucked. The professor tried to get through it as fast as possible also. The book brings up so many different ethical issues, tries to tell us how to fix them, all without ANY data or backup to prove his outlandish statements. He will end a chapter with a statement like "if we all worked together, we can save/fix _____" or something to that effect, and NEVER offer a solution about this issue he introduces. While it is a christian ethics book, very little of it actually looks at how, perhaps, old testament law and Jesus' preachings interact/conflict/support each other. Other than the poor content, the book drags and is not entertaining or intellectually stimulating at all.
