The War between Russia and Ukraine
Depending on the global, but also the European context, peace ethical perspectives on the Russian-Ukrainian war differ considerably. While many Northern, Western, Middle and South Eastern European states stress the illegitimacy and illegality of Russia’s invasion in Ukraine according to international law, some European and many states in the global South and East take a different stance. Thus, important international agents like South Africa have abstained from voting on UN resolution A/RES/ES-11/1 (March 2nd, 2022) and also the renewed resolution A/ES-11/L.7 (February 23rd, 2023); Brazil’s president Lula da Silva claims neutrality in the conflict. South African officials understand Russia as a long-standing ally and the conflict as a recalibration of the global order - and they don’t stand alone with that view. This book brings together voices from theology, political science and peace ethics from three continents for an intercontinental public theological and interdisciplinary conversation on peace ethics that takes decolonial perspectives into account without giving up claims of universal validity of human rights.
The Early Karl Barth
"Paul Silas Peterson presents Karl Barth (1886-1968) in his sociopolitical, cultural, ecclesial, and theological contexts from 1905 to 1935. In the foreground of this inquiry is Barth's relation to the features of his time, especially radical socialist ideology, WWI, an intellectual trend that would later be called the Conservative Revolution, the German Christians, the Young Reformation Movement, and National Socialism."--From back of book.

Military Ethics Education and the Holocaust
This book examines the nature of military ethics education after the Holocaust, using a range of national case studies. The volume examines educational opportunities offered by a range of militaries, including the USA, Australia, Lithuania, Austria and Israel, and addresses substantive and contextual problems for ethical reflection on the basis of Holocaust history. The first half of the work indicates how the particular educational gains sought from courses on the Holocaust and military ethics provide grounds for wider discussions of the normative consequences of engagement with the Holocaust. The chapters in the second half of the book turn to a variety of historical contexts before and du...
How To Do Christian Ethics
Discover how pressing contemporary moral issues can be approached and discussed in a distinct and coherently theological fashion. This book displays a more direct approach that has the distinct advantage of being approachable, dramatic, and contemporary. It introduces the reader to the grammar of Christian moral reasoning and expands upon its intricate inner workings. By demonstrating ways in which a Christian believer or congregation can think through specific moral issues, the volume serves a church desiring to witness God's love in genuine and contextually truthful ways. Each chapter approaches its subject matter by demonstrating how the sources of Christian moral reasoning-Scripture and church doctrine-can be imaginatively brought to bear on contemporary moral perplexities. The form of teaching practices here makes tangible the ways in which the Christian gospel clearly and even penetratingly illumines our contemporary moral contexts.
Barth and Rationality
This work brings the critically realistic interpretation of Barth's dialectical theology into conversation with the modern dialogue between science and theology. Philosophy of science, philosophy of mathematics and logic, and considerations of the problem of rationality raised in the science and theology dialogue are brought to bear upon Barth's theology in an attempt to explicate the rationality of his dialectical method. Its deep and abiding radical nature and character are lifted up, emphasized, and explored. The results of this study are then used to answer some long-standing criticisms of Barth. What emerges are an understanding of how Barth uses philosophy and why he declines to do philosophy. La Montagne opens the way for Barth scholars to enter into the dialogue between theology and science.
