Global banking, financial spillovers and macroprudential policy coordination
The transmission of financial shocks and the gains from international macroprudential policy coordination are studied in a two‐region, core–periphery model with a global bank, a two‐level financial structure and imperfect financial integration. The model replicates the stylized facts associated with global banking shocks, with respect to output, credit, house prices and real exchange rate fluctuations in recipient countries, as documented empiric…
Mordecai Would Not Bow Down: Anti-Semitism, the Holocaust, and Christian Supersessionism
Paradoxically, no other subjects of modern inquiry are as likely to generate false consolation as the Holocaust and anti-Semitism. Even as we acknowledge the enormity of these twin evils and resolve not to forget or repeat them, we deem them opaque or purely irrational phenomena, thereby minimizing them. We are tempted to relativize the effects of the Shoah and general hatred of the Jews by pointing to the emergence of the state of Israel on eart…
Not Far from the Kingdom: Martha Nussbaum on Anger and Forgiveness
In Anger and Forgiveness , Martha Nussbaum offers a magisterial brief against what she calls “retribution” and “garden‐variety anger.” She does not write as a Christian, but there is much for a Christian ethicist to admire in her learned and creative treatment of moral emotion, including her defense of generosity. Professor Nussbaum is not far from the kingdom of God. I argue, nevertheless, that she blurs or erodes four important distinctions, be…
Theology and Law Divorced and Reconciled: Aquinas, Luther, Rawls, and Us
What is divinity if it can come Only in silent shadows and in dreams? —Wallace Stevens Let me tell an absurdly brief story about part of the history of theology and law. In this story, I take Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther, John Rawls, and us as signposts. The tale is overly simple, but it can help situate and challenge us. We are at the end of the long decline into legal positivism; a new era of “political agape” beckons
Liberal Integrity: Lenn Goodman's Case for Democratic Virtue
On April 2, 2015, members of the militant Islamicist group, al-Shabab, murdered 148 people at Garissa University College in eastern Kenya. The putative motive was retaliation for acts by Kenya's security forces in Somalia, but many of the victims were Christian students who were identified and killed because they could not quote verses from the Koran. Such religiously-inspired slaughter seems almost a weekly occurrence these days, and it drives h…
The Relevance of God: A Reply to Ronald Dworkin
When Ronald Dworkin was to deliver his 1988 Tanner Lecture on Human Values at Stanford University, he was introduced by the university's president, Donald Kennedy. Kennedy offered an appreciative account of Dworkin's background and achievements, noted the title of the upcoming talk, then gathered up his notes and turned the podium over to the speaker. Dworkin proceeded to give a two-hour oration on the foundations of liberal equality, breathtakin…
Heroism on an Empty Stomach”: Weil and Hillesum on Love and Happiness Amid the Holocaust 1
I do four things in this essay: (1) briefly rehearse the biographies of Simone Weil and Etty Hillesum, (2) outline and compare some of the key themes in their lives and works, noting interesting (and also troubling) similarities between them, as well as salient differences, (3) use their examples as lenses through which to look at contemporary attitudes toward altruism vs. self‐interest, freedom vs. necessity, eating vs. fasting, and acting vs. w…

Ambivalences about Nature and Naturalism: A Supernaturalist Response to Theodore W. Nunez
As a die‐hard supernaturalist, someone “at two with nature” (Woody Allen) who would be at one with God, the author has mixed feelings about Theodore Nunez's defense of “naturalism.” Unlike neopragmatists, the author is not troubled by Nunez's general realism about value; he takes exception not to Nunez's theoretical account of truth, but to his specific axiology. He does not share Nunez's confidence that “projective nature” can provide reliable m…
Naturalism, Formalism, and Supernaturalism: Moral Epistemology and Comparative Ethics
If the much discussed fragmentation of the West meansthat we can seldom hold constructive moral conversations with our near neighbors, why imagine that comparative ethics is feasible as a critical enterprise with a coherent method? How, more specifically, do we understand the relative merits of naturalism, formalism, and supernaturalism as ethical orientations? The author addresses these questions first by examining the meaning of the quoted term…
To Bedlam and Part Way Back: John Rawls and Christian Justice
The diversity of human wants, needs, actions, passions, and opinions within a pluralistic society is undeniable.Given such diversity, the classical definition of justice as "to each his or her due" does not readily translate into material principles for the distribution of social benefits and burdens.Indeed, a theory of justice suited to liberal democracies may seem an impossible ideal.In this paper, I examine John Rawls's attempt to formulate su…
