Proportionalism : The American Debate and Its European Roots, Paperback / softback Book

Proportionalism : The American Debate and Its European Roots Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

One of the most heated debates in recent times among Christian ethicians has been over what has come to be called "proportionalism".

Opponents have argued that proportionalists are intent on relativizing theology norms and the concept of intrinsic evil.

Proponents, on the other hand, argue that they are merely developing a traditional notion of proportion of reason.

Bernard Hoose puts this debate in context by showing its roots in the writings of European moral theologians and its flowering in the writings of their American colleagues.

He uncovers a number of confusions that have bedeviled the argument while revealing how important the issues are for establishing in coherent Christian ethics in the twentieth century.
