Bonhoeffer and Business Ethics by Walton Padelford Pdf

David Dockery, President of Union University, writes: Walt Padelford is to be applauded for this work on BONHOEFFER AND BUSINESS ETHICS, which not only provides fresh perspective on the challenging work of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, but offers insightful application for the field of business ethics. I can envision this volume making a significant difference in business classes for both professors and students in days ahead. Moreover, this fine book will certainly have a powerful influence for all who seek to live as faithful followers of Jesus Christ.Richard Chewning, Emeritus Professor of Christian Ethics at Baylor University, writes: The book is a "wonderful read" for anybody interested in business, business ethics, or practical theology...BONHOEFFER AND BUSINESS ETHICS raises the bar. Dr. Padelford escorts us through the maturing of Dietrich Bonhoeffer as he journeyed from pacifism to being a participant in the plot to kill Hitler. The lesson: life in the world is the crucible where Christ is manifested, and this is life's highest objective-also for business ethics. Christ takes form in the world of business through the inner struggles of those in whom He lives as they engage in the rough and tumble of the marketplace. Ethical principles, ideas, and formulations are the milk of the classroom but poor substitutes for the real challenges encountered in the fallen world. The centrality of Christ; an understanding of the stresses faced in commerce; and the spiritual formation of the lives of students: these three essentials should be tackled in Christian Business Schools.

Ethics by Dietrich Bonhoeffer Pdf

The crown jewel of Bonhoeffer's body of work, Ethicsis the culmination of his theological and personal odyssey. Based on careful reconstruction of the manuscripts, freshly and expertly translated and annotated, this new critical edition features an insightful Introduction by Clifford Green and an Afterword from the German edition's editors. Though caught up in the vortex of momentous forces in the Nazi period, Bonhoeffer systematically envisioned a radically Christocentric, incarnational ethic for a post-war world, purposefully recasting Christians' relation to history, politics, and public life. This edition allows scholars, theologians, ethicists, and serious Christians to appreciate the cogency and relevance of Bonhoeffer's vision.

Becoming Simple and Wise by Joshua A Kaiser Pdf

How does a Christian discern the will of God? While this question lies at the heart of Christian moral life, religious communities struggle to articulate responses that balance simple faith and rational reflection. Some characterise discernment as simpleobedience to the commandments in Scripture; others portray it as an exercise of human reason and conscience. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the German theologian, pastor, and political conspirator who embodied a life of discernment amidst difficult circumstances in WWII Germany, offers a compelling theological account of how to seek and respond to God's will. By tracing Bonhoeffer's understanding of moral discernment throughout his writings, and especially in his Ethics, Joshua A. Kaiser demonstrates the importance of discernment for Bonhoeffer's vision of Christian ethics and explores how his view combines elements of simple faith and rational reflection. While the results of the study will be significant for those interested in Bonhoeffer, they will also be relevant to all who struggle along the path of Christian discipleship.

The Limit of Responsibility by Esther D. Reed Pdf

This volume frames the question of responsibility as a problem of agency in relation to the systems and structures of globalization. According to Ricoeur responsibility is a “shattered concept” when considered too narrowly as a problem of act, agency and individual freedom. To examine this Esther Reed develops a short genealogy of modern liberal and post-liberal concepts of responsibility in order to understand better the relationship dominant modern framings of the meanings of responsibility. Reed engages with writings by major modern (Schleiermacher, Hegel, Marx, Weber) and post-liberal (Buber, Levinas, Derrida, Badiou, Butler, Young, Critchley) theorists to illustrate the shift from an ethnic responsibility built on notions of accountability and attributions to an ethic responsibility that starts variously from the 'other'. Reed sees Dietrich Bonhoeffer as the most promising partner of this theological dialogue, as his learning of responsibility from the risen Christ present now in the (global) church is a welcome provocation to new thinking about the meaning of responsibility learned from land, distant neighbour, (global) church and the bible. Bonhoeffer's reflections on the centre, boundaries and limits of responsibility remain helpful to Christian people struggling with an increasingly exhausted concept of accountability.

The Virtue of Bonhoeffer’s Ethics by Jennifer Moberly Pdf

Does Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Ethics have any affinities with what we have now come to call virtue ethics? If so, what is the relationship between those affinities and the more widely recognized influence of Karl Barth? Moberly seeks to answer these questions through close analysis of the Ethics and engagement with other interpreters of Bonhoeffer, while discussing the nature of virtue ethics in a Christian context. The answers may be surprising, but they are certainly rewarding for anyone wanting to better understand Bonhoeffer and to see how his work could be helpful for current ethical debates.

Shaping the Future by James H. Burtness Pdf

With penetrating insight, James Burtness enters into dialogue with the great theologian and Christian martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer, whose faith in God, despite having stood in the face of the Nazi nightmare, never wavered, and whose life in review, even though he was firmly rooted in the Lutheran tradition, has become a phenomenon that has grown out to reach all followers of Christ today. Burtness writes, "He was convinced that by 'taking hold of the real' those who know and follow Jesus Christ can, as his deputies, participate responsibly in the shaping of the future in line with God's own will."

Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Ethics of Formation by Ryan Huber Pdf

Dietrich Bonhoeffer is many things to many people—committed pacifist, reluctant revolutionary, Protestant saint but in Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Ethics of Formation, Ryan Huber argues that Bonhoeffer should be engaged as a Christian ethicist of formation. Huber demonstrates that formation lies at the heart of Bonhoeffer’s ethical project and personal story, providing a third way between virtue and character ethics in contemporary Christian thought concerned with moral growth.

The Polity of Christ by Ulrik Nissen Pdf

Ulrik Nissen addresses the difficulty that contemporary theology faces in trying to find a way to maintain both all the shared goods we cherish as political beings, and the call for Christians to be a particular people in the world and bear witness to Christ. Nissen stresses that Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Christological ethics allows for a polemical unity between the reality of the world and the reality of God, reconciled in the reality of Christ. Based on a series of case studies that provide a point of departure for a robust reshaping of Christian humanism and responsibility, Nissen reads Bonhoeffer's ethics in the light of both his Lutheran heritage and contemporary challenges, highlighting the importance of his thought for political theology. By demonstrating the significant influence of Lutheran and Chalcedonian Christology in contemporary ethics, Nissen provides a robust argument for a love of the common reality we share as human beings, and a call for Christians to bear witness to Christ in the public world.

New Studies in Bonhoeffer's Ethics by William Jay Peck,Clifford J. Green Pdf

This study seeks to address the paradox that scholars have neglected the very work that Bonhoeffer hoped would be his crowning achievement - his study of Christian ethics. Concluding that the reason for this omission was not simple neglect but the uncertain state of the text, contributing authors offer insights and solutions for the textual problems posed by Bonhoeffer's Ethics.
