The Virtuous Cooperator: Modeling The Human In An Ecologically Endangered Age, Jame Schaefer Jan 2003

The Virtuous Cooperator: Modeling The Human In An Ecologically Endangered Age, Jame Schaefer

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

A theological model of the human is needed to prompt responsible thinking about and acting within the physical world. Some basic components for modeling the human as a virtuous cooperator appear in the teachings of Thomas Aquinas. When appropriated cautiously and informed broadly by contemporary scientific findings, this model provides a promising way of thinking about humans in relation to other species and ecological systems, a framework for acting responsibly, and the motivation for making this behavior habitual.

Grateful Cooperation: Cistercian Inspiration For Ecological Ethics, Jame Schaefer Jan 2002

Grateful Cooperation: Cistercian Inspiration For Ecological Ethics, Jame Schaefer

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

As scholars of world religions search for promising ways of responding to the ecological crisis, the Christian tradition can look for inspiration to Descriptio Positionis Seu Situationis Monasterii Claraevallensis, a twelfth-century description of the site and surroundings of Clairvaux abbey. The text exudes the unnamed author's deep appreciation and gratitude for the cooperative interactivity of human beings, other species, the land, water, and air that assured their mutual sustainability and maintained the site's integrity. This view predates by centuries the efforts of contemporary philosophers to reflect on the human relation to other biota and abiota that constitute ecological systems, to …

Review Of The Social Teaching Of Phillips Brooks, Robert B. Slocum

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

Episcopalian minister Phillips Brooks (1835-93) is widely recognized to be one of the great preachers in American church history.

Zacchaean Effects & Ethics Of The Spirit, Robert B. Slocum Jul 2001

Zacchaean Effects & Ethics Of The Spirit, Robert B. Slocum

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

Effects and ethics of the Holy Spirit today can be described in terms of the themes of abundance, hope and community in the story of Zacchaeus. The Gospel of Luke (19:1-11) records that Zacchaeus was a chief tax collector, and rich. He was an outcast, and isolated from those around him by the shameful behavior that built up his fortune while keeping others weak and poor and subjugated to the ruling authority. In the world of his day, Zacchaeus would have been scorned and resented for the abuses of power that made him wealthy. For all his riches, Zacchaeus may …
