Luke Bretherton

    Luke Bretherton is een geleerde op het gebied van theologische ethiek die de ingewikkelde verbanden tussen geloof en het publieke leven onderzoekt. Zijn werk duikt in diepgaande vragen over hoe religieuze overtuigingen politieke en maatschappelijke structuren vormgeven. Bretherton onderzoekt kritisch morele dilemma's en ethische uitdagingen binnen een mondiaal kader. Zijn benadering is gebaseerd op de synthese van theoretische reflectie met praktische betrokkenheid bij diverse internationale gemeenschappen en organisaties.

      In  Christ and the Common Life  Luke Bretherton provides an introduction to historical and contemporary theological reflection on politics and opens up a compelling vision for a Christian commitment to democracy. In dialogue with Scripture and various traditions, Bretherton examines the dynamic relationship between who we are in relation to God and who we are as moral and political animals. He addresses fundamental political questions about poverty and injustice, forming a common life with strangers, and handling power constructively. And through his analysis of debates concerning, among other things, race, class, economics, the environ­ment, and interfaith relations, he develops an innovative political theology of democracy as a way through which Christians can speak and act faithfully within our current context. Read as a whole, or as stand-alone chapters, the book guides readers through the political landscape and identifies the primary vocabulary, ideas, and schools of thought that shape Christian reflection on politics in the West. Ideal for the classroom,  Christ and the Common Life  equips students to understand politics and its positive and negative role in fostering neighbor love.
