Oliver O'Donovan's Moral Theology: Tensions and Triumphs: T&T Clark Enquiries in Theological Ethics

Autor Dr Samuel Tranter
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 apr 2022
This book offers the first sustained, full-length treatment of the wide-ranging work of major Anglican theologian Oliver O'Donovan. Analyzing such key texts as Resurrection and Moral Order, The Desire of the Nations and Ethics as Theology, Samuel Tranter shows that the relationship between eschatology and ethics is an area of significant tension in O'Donovan's evolving vision of moral theology.Tranter traces this tension as it relates to O'Donovan's writing and contemporary discussion around natural law, divine command and human flourishing, as well as to particular topics such as poverty, marriage and singleness and biotechnology. He also connects it with the broader doctrinal features of O'Donovan's project, such as his accounts of creation, sin and redemption, and his understanding of the relationships between the cross and the resurrection, on one hand, and Christology and pneumatology, on the other. Throughout, Tranter indicates the implications of these themes for our understanding of the Christian life.This volume establishes and evaluates O'Donovan's influence on contemporary Christian ethicists and political theologians (such as Luke Bretherton, Gilbert Meilaender, Jean Porter and Brent Waters), and engages with critical readings of O'Donovan (such as those by Stanley Hauerwas and Gerald McKenny). In conversation with these and other voices from a range of perspectives, Tranter shows how O'Donovan's proposals may be appropriated and amended as a resource for theology and ethics going forward.

Recenzii

A theological analysis of Oliver O'Donovan's moral theology, such as Samuel Tranter's book presents, is long overdue. This is not only because of O'Donovan's inspiring and fundamental work in theological ethics, but also because of Tranter's sharp attention to the real intention and focus of O'Donovan's work, as well as its importance for our time. This again makes Tranter's analysis indeed a 'remedy [for a] lack of a critical engagement with O'Donovan's thought', and-more than that-a significant textbook in theological ethics'
This book is needed because Oliver O'Donovan is rightly not easy. Samuel Tranter makes O'Donovan's project clear without oversimplification. No one engaging O'Donovan can avoid this work. We are all in Tranter's debt (and that includes Oliver himself).
Oliver O'Donovan's profound contribution to moral theology here receives the kind of insightful, artful, and critical engagement it rightly deserves. Tranter's fine study sets an important benchmark for theological engagement with O'Donovan's lifework even as it presses searching questions concerning the eschatological quality of Christian ethics more generally.
Oliver O'Donovan's moral theology is notoriously complex. Samuel Tranter has done a great service by providing this careful and insightful guide, as well as offering a critical assessment. Tranter's book is replete with rich observations and astute judgments about O'Donovan's work and the role of eschatology in Christian ethics. I highly recommend it!
