Produktinformationen zu „Moved by God to Act (ePub)“
Moved by God to Act offers a fresh description of Christian moral action as a moment of connection between divine and human agency. Through an ecumenical consideration of a variety of resources, this book gives an accessible description of the work of God's grace not only in individual Christian agency but also within the dynamics of Christian community. Moved by God to Act brings the contemporary theological ethics of community into dialogue with the pneumatology of Thomas Aquinas. The ethic emerging from this dialogue lifts up the centrality of God's grace in Christian community while at the same time offering a detailed articulation of the human being as naturally and beautifully drawn into cooperation with God's grace in the ethical life. The book concludes by showing how Aquinas stands in substantial harmony with the contemporary authors discussed, offering a proper description of God's agency in individual Christian human agency and the dynamics of the "body" of the Christian community to which the contemporary discourse so rightly points. Moved by God to Act is an attempt to speak to the work of God in the life and day-to-day action of Christians and Christian communities as moved to act by the Holy Spirit.
Autoren-Porträt von Wm. Carter Aikin
Wm. Carter Aikin (PhD, University of Notre Dame) chairs the Department of Philosophy and Religion at Blackburn College. In addition to his research in Christian ethics, he has worked for several years on the concept of vocation in the Judeo-Christian tradition. Specifically, his interests are in how "calling" can reshape the discourse in ecumenical and interfaith ethics, and how institutional vocation can revitalize the mission and identity of church-related colleges and universities. Aikin is ordained in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and has served in congregations in North Carolina, Indiana, and Nebraska. Aikin grew up in the mountains of Colorado, and currently lives with his wife and two sons in southern Illinois.
