Weber, Theology, and Economics
Max Weber was neither a theologian nor an economist. He did not aspire to advocate, refine, or refute the doctrines taught in the Bible, by Augustine, Thomas, Luther, Calvin, Wesley, Schleiermacher, any other major Christian thinker. Instead, he is the founder of a mode of social science that sought to account for changes and variations in economic and political attitudes, structures, and behavior in different social contexts and over time. These…
Framing the Global Ethos
This article summarizes the major themes and perspectives developed in dialogue with scholars and clergy from Asia, Africa, and the North Atlantic region and treated in detail in the four-volume series God and Globalization (2000–2007). Here specific attention is given to the tasks of theology and the implicit roles of the church in view of the pervasive dynamics of globalization in every sphere of social life. The article concludes with a propos…
Responses to My IJPT Reviewers
Globalization has many dimensions and there are diverse perspectives on it. e contributors to the first three volumes of God and Globalization are a testament to the range of scholarly engagement with key dimensions of globalization. e aim of these essays and the structure of their presentation is to lay the foundations for comprehensive theological interaction with globalization. While the review of volume 1 highlights the issue of glocal and lo…
Why Theology in International Affairs
A response to Robert Nelson's review of Max Stackhouse's book Globalization and Grace [God and Globalization, Volume 4]
Public theology and Democracy's future
Enduring civilizations have had a religious, moral architecture to guide leaders and evoke sacrificial commitments. The Judeo-Christian tradition offers two biblicalthemes that undergird the “principled pluralism” that presses society toward democracy: the recognition of sin and the possibility of covenant. A serious public theology will engage the great world religions to find comparable concepts and prospects for an emerging global civil societ…
The Christian Ethic of Love
Reflections on How and Why We Go Public
Whereas many think of public theology as it addresses public policy directly, this article seeks to chart the major non-political, indirect ways in which religions go public and thereby influence the common life and civil society. In addition to sketching out how religions generally shape their cultural and civilizational ethos, and thus personal character and social polity, it identifies how Christianity does so in distinctive directions and why…
Social Graces
Globalization is the theological and missiological mandate of today. Society currently fails to grasp the way in which religion has shaped the onset and development of globalization. Ultimately, globalization demands a theological response. Christianity has much to offer, especially because its three central historic claims have to do with grace, making them universal in implication. The existing dynamics of globalization cannot be grasped withou…
Civil Religion, Political Theology and Public Theology
Identifying and distinguishing the dominant features of civil religion, political theology and public theology is an important aspect of the trans-Atlantic conversation about the role of religion in the common life. Civil religion is often a form of patriotic self-celebration that in the West, and particularly in the US, has often been expressed in terms of Christianity. Its defect lies in its lack of transcendental and thus critical reference. P…
A Christian perspective on human rights
Spheres of Management
This paper explores the range of problems facing contemporary “management.” The United States is now “managing” another country, and a large share of the world's oil supply. It is also the case that industrial engineering is on the brink of managing the biosphere more extensively than ever before. Yet, confidence in the human capacity to manage great, complex systems has been damaged by the recent series of management scandals. Certain relationsh…
Covenant and Civil Society
Covenant and Commitments
Ethicist Max Stackhouse challenges libertarian and liberationist arguments that distort the nature and character of love, sexuality, and commitment. He seeks to recover a covenantal ethic, which would recapture the value of strong family relationships. The Family, Culture, and Religion series offers informed and responsible analyses of the state of the American family from a religious perspective and provides practical assistance for the family's…
Reflections on "Universal Absolutes"
On the grounds of an (essentially) Roman Catholic moral theology and political philosophy, Michael J. Perry states and argues for positions that vindicate the accent of recent popes on human rights as both a matter of faith and of reason—positions I believe to be largely valid and that could gain even stronger support from a Reformed Christian philosophical theology. This should not be surprising, for the Catholic tradition was the common traditi…

James Luther Adams
In consultation with his pastoral advisor, James Luther Adams dictated two letters when one of his many strokes forced him to ponder his own mortality with a new urgency. In the first letter, he specified that a memorial service be held at his beloved Arlington Street Church in Boston (rather than in an academic setting), that it be on a Sunday afternoon so his daughters and the clergy could come, and that we have particular pieces of music. His …

Creeds, Society and Human Rights
Some Intellectual and Social Roots of Modern Human Rights Ideas
My purpose here is to identify selected turning points of western thought as they interacted with critical turning points in social organization, to shape the deep trajectory of social presupposition necessary for the rise of modern, Western principles of human rights. The deeply religious aspects of both thought and societal structure are involved at each juncture. In the process of exhuming these presuppositions from the Western traditions, sev…
Troeltsch's Categories of Historical Analysis
however, unlike Niebuhr, there is a strange way in which the Christian faith becomes universalized from within its own historically relative confessional faith structure. Perhaps the one significant theological exception to the otherwise common rejection of Troeltsch's problem is the thought of Paul Tillich. Like Troeltsch at the time of writing Die Absolutheit..., Tillich retains the legacy of German idealism to the extent that he is still able …

An Ecumenical Perspective on Neoevangelical Politics
If Mr. Buzzard had offered his paper “The Evangelical Rediscovery of Law and Politics” as a sermon instead of a lecture, and had ended it with the traditional evangelical “altar call” which invites converts and those who want to reaffirm their faith to come forward, I would have arisen from my seat and gone halfway down the aisle. There is much in what he says which any Christian can, indeed, must affirm. The paper convinces me, or rather confirm…
