2Systematic Theology and Climate Change: Ecumenical PerspectivesRoutledge. 2014.This book offers the first comprehensive systematic theological reflection on arguably the most serious issue facing humanity and other creatures today. Responding to climate change is often left to scientists, policy makers and activists, but what understanding does theology have to offer? In this collection, the authors demonstrate that there is vital cultural and intellectual work for theologians to perform in responding to climate science and in commending a habitable way forward. Written fr…Read more

53The Market, the Multitude and Metaphysics: Ronald Preston's Middle Way and the Theological Critique of Economic ReasonStudies in Christian Ethics 17 (2): 104-117. 2004.The European post-Marxist work Empire by Hardt and Negri points to the theological/metaphysical underpinnings of modernity and global capitalism in the medieval shift from Trinitarian orthodoxy to nominalism. Though Hardt and Negri reject religious or transcendental approaches to the social, their work shows remarkable resemblances with the ontological critique of modernity and economism mounted by John Milbank and Stephen Long among others. By contrast the considerable oeuvre of Ronald Preston …Read more

15Anthropogenic Climate Change, Political Liberalism and the Communion of SaintsStudies in Christian Ethics 24 (1): 34-49. 2011.Political liberals refuse that there are biophysical limits to human wealth accumulation. Coal fuelled the first liberal political economy — England’s — for 800 years before coal smoke was legally regulated in London. The English also have an enduring love for the diverse and scenic quality of their island nation, and a long history of commons governance that predates the acts of land theft which accompanied the emergence of political liberalism. By contrast the United States is a modern liberal…Read more

130Reading Hauerwas in the cornbelt: The demise of the american dream and the return of liturgical politicsJournal of Religious Ethics 40 (2): 262-280. 2012.In this paper I examine criticism of Hauerwas's critique of American democracy and liberalism, and of American violence and war, as sectarian and politically irrelevant. This twin account has the merit of engaging his critics from left and right. I show that his critique of American Christians, and their support of America's ways of promoting justice and freedom at home and in the world, has analogies with Foucault's genealogical project in France, and represents a more powerful critique of Amer…Read more

33The Weakness of Power and the Power of Weakness: The Ethics of War in a Time of TerrorStudies in Christian Ethics 20 (1): 88-101. 2007.In 2002 a significant number of American theologians declared that the ‘war on terror’ was a just war. But the indiscriminate strategies and munitions technologies deployed in the invasion and occupation of Iraq fall short of the just war principles of non-combatant immunity, and proportionate response. The just war tradition is one of Christendom's most enduring legacies to the law of nations. Its practice implies a standard of virtue in war that is undermined by the indiscriminate effects of m…Read more
