Justifying Next Stage Capitalism
This book explores emerging justifications of capitalism based on the views of academics from around the world in business. The traditional justification for capitalism has been that it is the one system that produces the most wealth with the least cost for the most people. While this justification no longer has the taken-for-granted status it once enjoyed, it remains the dominant and mainstream argument in favor of capitalism, especially in the United States. Despite capitalism’s production of human wealth, it is implicated by trends such as income and wealth inequalities, climate change caused by the burning of fossil fuels and racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination.

Soul, Self, and Society
Globalization and urbanization are twin forces that are powerfully shaping economics, politics, and religion in the world today. Traditional anthropological theories are inadequate to recognize and analyze trends such as global migration, diasporas, and transnationalism. New departures in anthropology and the social sciences seeking to address these and other phenomena can help us critique and reshape the theology and practice of Christian mission. Today most societies are no longer monocultural. In such multicultural contexts any given individual may be competent in several cultures, several languages, several social networks. What does it mean to be in mission with people on the move--peop...
Markets and Other Social Structures
This volume honors and examines Daniel Finn’s transformative contributions to the field of Christian ethics. In a career spanning nearly fifty years, Finn became a preeminent thinker on Christian economic ethics and pioneered pathways of interdisciplinary engagement between theological ethics and the social sciences. In this collection, a wide range of scholars from several disciplines take up key themes from Finn’s scholarship—including the terms of the dialogue between economics and theology, the importance of attending to a market’s “moral ecology” when evaluating economic activity, and the use of critical realism for theological reflections on structural sin and moral agency—critically exploring and developing the relevance of these for social ethics and extending them to address new problems.

The Consistent Ethic of Life
Catholic ethicists assess the development, reception, and relevance of Cardinal Joseph Bernardin's writings on the consistent ethic of life. The late Archbishop of Chicago, Joseph Bernardin, is best remembered for his "seamless garment" approach linking abortion, capital punishment, war, and social justice - and bringing insights from the New Testament and Catholic tradition to bear on the burning issues of our age.

Children and Our Global Future
"In Children and Our Global Future, Herzog challenges theologians, clergy and lay church leaders, educators, and interested citizens to take children seriously. She examines the concerns for children in our biblical heritage as well as in other religious traditions, and relates these findings to our cultural, ecological, and political responsibility to children in an age of globalization. Herzog also contends that neglecting children today will not only endanger their future, but also deprive adults of spiritual and social integrity."--Jacket.
