American Protestant Ethics and the Legacy of H. Richard Niebuhr (Moral Traditions Series)

"H. Richard Niebuhr is one of the towering forces of Christian theology - there can be no discussion of contemporary Protestant ethics without taking into account his contributions. In this analysis and evaluation of the monumental influence of Niebuhr, Werpehowski traces four streams that flow from Niebuhr's theology, particularly as it deals with ethics. In an investigation of the work of four contemporary ethicists important in their own right - Paul Ramsey, Stanley Hauerwas, James Gustafson, and Kathryn Tanner - Werpehowski explores how Niebuhr's legacy has made an impact on their thought and work." "Addressing a number of substantive issues, including the viability of just war tradition and the relationship between "church" and "world," American Protestant Ethics and the Legacy of H. Richard Niebuhr reveals the interplay of intellectual and moral discourse between Niebuhr and today's ethicists."--BOOK JACKET.
