White, John Bentley. "Sport and Christian ethics : towards a theological ethic for sport." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/5992.

Abstract:

From the time of the early church to the present century, Christian assumptions about and theological responses to sport have been problematic. In the present century, evangelicals in North America lack a developed theological ethic about how Christians should regard modern sport--the practices, purposes, and values. What little theology there is, is an uninformed folk theology of muscular Christianity in which the primary means of evaluating sport is in terms of its instrumental utility with no recognition of goods that might be internal to sport. In this thesis, I formulate a modest Christia

Abstract:

Biomedical ethics has been dominated for over three decades by the central principles of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice. These form the pillars of the principles- based ethical framework developed and promoted by Tom Beauchamp and James Childress. Despite its dominance, this framework for bioethical thinking, discourse, and decision-making has been widely criticized by bioethicists from many belief traditions. Such criticism has often focused on its minimalist preoccupation with procedural clarity, its lack of moral content, and its inattentiveness to relational aspects of

Abstract:

Technology has several advantages, but the growing fear is that the power of human beings over nature through technology is growing in an alarming rate so that, if not checked with a new ethics of responsibility, we may be heading to the destruction of nature and the annihilation of humanity. In response to this fear, Hans Jonas set a whole new debate into motion, both in Germany and America, when he argues (in his book entitled, The imperative of responsibility: In search of ethics for the technological age (1984) that the existing approaches to philosophical ethics, including theological eth

Abstract:

There is a prima facie incompatibility between a law conception of ethics, in which law concepts (e.g. ought, rule, action) are basic, and a virtue conception of ethics, in which virtue concepts (e.g. character trait, ideal, agent) are basic. However, both conceptions contain elements that are needed for an adequate ethical account. Aquinas's conception of ethics is of interest, because it combines virtue and law components within a broadly Aristotelian account. I argue that Aquinas's virtue-and-law ethical conception is not ad hoc, but emerges from, expresses, and is grounded normatively, rat

Abstract:

This thesis aims to set out parameters within which Christian ethical reappropriations of Old Testament Narratives can take place. Chapter One sets out the philosophical foundations for the project making special use of the work of Paul Ricoeur. It is argued that the notion of a narrative-self is crucial to understanding how it is that story can ethically shape its audience. Four specific ways in which it does this are set out. Chapter Two argues that story is far more important in OT ethics than has usually been appreciated. It moves' on to defend a hermeneutical model suggested by N. T. Wrig

Abstract:

Note:<br>This thesis explores the ways that Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno's Critical Theory and the ethics of Christian liberation theology mutually inform each other. Horkheimer and Adorno' s theories of the "dialectic of enlightenment" and “negative dialectics" provide a self-critical social analysis that interconnects the domination of humanity by humanity and the domination of nature in a way that strengthens the critique of Christian ethics. Further, Horkheimer and Adorno's "longing for the wholly other" resonates profoundly with Christians who believe in a God of Justice. By the sa

Abstract:

This thesis is an attempt to add understanding and meaning to the concept of sexual addiction by correlating the clinical observation that sex addicts in particular, and shame-bound people in general, behave in cycles of control and release to the types of the two sons in the Lukan parable of the prodigal. This parable may be understood as shedding light on the equal dangers of patterns of control and release. Additionally, sex addiction is viewed from an Augustinian perspective of sin. It is argued that human vulnerability to shaming is a result of original sin and that sexual addiction can b

This study investigates Paul’s reference to baptism since the Pauline epistles are the oldest written records that we have on the topic of baptism and because of the foundational role the Pauline gospel still has for the identity of contemporary Christianity. In his various letters, Paul often mentions or alludes to baptism, but Paul never writes a passage that could be titled ‘On Baptism’, where he

Abstract:

In order to work toward right relationships among humanity and all other things, what is required is an ethical theory that concerns itself with interests that include but are not limited to the human. James M. Gustafson's theocentric ethics, which centres value on God, can accomplish this in the religious sphere. Gustafson's ethical theory also has the potential to work within nontheistic secularism as a way of construing all things as interrelated and interdependent. Underlying Gustafson's theology and value theory is a commonsense ontology, which appreciates evidences from the scienc

In recent decades, the growing concern among scientists, politicians, economists, and the media regarding the future of life on the planet has raised all kinds of questions about the origin of the so-called ecological crisis. Complex analyses and different sets of solutions have followed. Yet the problems seem far from being solved. Ethicists and theologians have joined the conversation and have also p

Abstract:

This study is about ethics and leadership power in the Anglican church in Buganda. Exercising leadership power in church has on many occasions created difficulties and anxieties for both leaders and the church community. This study had two achievable aims. First, it aimed at investigating the motives that the church leaders attached to their leadership decisions and actions, hence power. The study investigated the motives behind the invitation of missionaries to Buganda and found that the motive was to strengthen military power on the part of the kabaka.

Abstract:

This thesis provides a broad reading of the writings of Jacques Ellul focused on presence as a driving theme of his theological-ethical works. Drawing on numerous rare, unpublished and untranslated primary sources, this reading suggests that presence was a central and guiding theme of his work from its inception in the mid-1930s to its planned conclusion in La raison d'être (1987). Focusing on presence further elucidates a personal crisis which Ellul underwent in the late 1960s, described in the opening pages of L'espérance oubliée (1972).

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to examine advertising from the point of view of Christian ethics: how it works, what is wrong with it and how it might go right as a practice. It argues that much existing criticism of advertising is justified, but that its power to create desire might be turned towards serving the good of the education of desire, leading us towards, or strengthening, a love of God, and helping us relate to products and services based on this love. This is significant because learning to desire well is central to living a Christian life, and because advertising influences how many pe

The purpose of this thesis is to present a theologically informed alternative to common conceptions of sport in contemporary culture, particularly in response to the challenges of doping in athletic competition. In the first part we will examine contemporary ethical perceptions of doping in sport by analysing the major arguments commonly used to justify the current ban on enhancement substances. The outcome will show that the context of the debate fails to account for a more fundamental analysis of the purpose and nature of sport. Part two will develop a framework for conceptualising sport.

This thesis examines the challenges to Christian ethics posed by the model of round table dialogue.

This review leads to a proposal indicating how the round table dialogue may be a suitable model by which Christian ethicists may engage with a range of other moral perspectives.
