Political Liberalism is a 1993 book by the American philosopher John Rawls, an update to his earlier A Theory of Justice (1971). In it, he attempts to show that his theory of justice is not a "comprehensive conception of the good" but is instead compatible with a liberal conception of the role of justice, namely, that government should be neutral between competing conceptions of the good. Rawl tries to show that his two principles of justice, properly understood, form a "theory of the right" (as opposed to a theory of the good) which would be supported by all reasonable individuals, even under conditions of reasonable pluralism. The mechanism by which he demonstrates this is called "overlapping consensus". Here he also develops his idea of public reason.

DIRECTIONS What do the four parts of the Christian Biblical Na.docxlynettearnold46882
DIRECTIONS
What do the four parts of the Christian Biblical Narrative (i.e., creation, fall, redemption, and restoration) say about the nature of God and of reality in relation to the reality of sickness and disease? From where would one find comfort and hope in the light of illness according to this narrative? Explain in detail each part of the narrative above and analyze the implications.
Biomedical Ethics in The Christian Narrative
Introduction
The reality of religious pluralism (the view that there are many different religions with different teachings) does not logically imply any sort of religious relativism (the view that there is no such thing as truth, or that everything is a matter of opinion). There are genuine distinctions between religions and worldviews. Given this fact, it is imperative that one be tolerant of differences and engage civilly with those of different religions or worldviews. It might be tempting to think that one is being tolerant or civil by simply rolling all religions into one sort of generic "spirituality" and to claim that all religions are essentially the same. But this is simply false. Once again, there are genuine and important differences among religions; these differences are meaningful to the followers of a particular faith. To simply talk of some sort of a generic "spirituality," while maybe properly descriptive of some, does not accurately describe most of the religious people in the world. Furthermore, this terminology often reduces religion to a mere personal or cultural preference, and it ignores the distinctions and particularity of each. The point is that such a reductionism is not respectful of patients. It should also be noted that atheism or secularism are not simply default or perfectly objective (or supposedly scientific) starting positions, while religious perspectives are somehow hopelessly biased. Every religion or worldview brings with it a set of assumptions about the nature of reality; whether or not a particular view should be favored depends upon whether or not it is considered true and explains well one's experience of reality.
Biomedical Ethics
Bioethics is a subfield of ethics that concerns the ethics of medicine and ethical issues in the life sciences raised by the advance of technology. The issues dealt with tend to be complex and controversial (i.e., abortion, stem cell research, euthanasia, etc.). In addition, bieothics usually also involves questions of public policy and social justice. As such, the complexities of bioethical discussion in a pluralistic society are compounded. There have been several different approaches to bioethical questions put forth that have to do with the theory behind ethical decision making. Three positions have been prominent in the discussion principalism (also known as the four principle approach), virtue ethics, and casuistry. For this lecture, it will be useful to outline principalism and to describe the general contours of a Christian app.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. Justice,
Liberation,
and Shalom
• Three main spheres of justice
• Definitions of justice
• Biblical concepts of justice
• The relationship between love and justice
• The relationship between freedom nd
justice
• Who is responsible for ensuring justice
• Justice and liberation
• Justice and shalom
3. Three Main
Spheres of
Justice
• Three main spheres of justice
• Retributive: Getting what you deserve
(usually in a negative sense, such as
punishments)
• Distributive: Getting what you need
(usually in a positive sense, such as
food or income)
• Restorative: Making amends for the
harm done by crime, providing closure
and accountability
4. Definitions of
Justice
• How do we decide what someone
“deserves” or “is due”? Three main
paradigms:
• Meritorious: focus on efforts, actions,
expertise
• Egalitarian: two forms
• Equal outcomes
• Equal access
• Need-based: based upon concrete needs in a
given sphere
5. Biblical Ideas
of Justice
• What does the word “justice” mean in the
scriptures?
• What were some of the biblical teachings
on justice?
• mishpat (justice, judgment)
• tsedaqah (righteousness, justice)
• dikaiosune (justice, righteousness)
• krima (judgment, justice)
• krisis (judgment, decision, justice)
6. Love and
Justice
• What is the relationship between love
and justice?
• They are different things
• They not only different, but in tension
• They mutually supplement each other
7. Love and
Justice as
Different
• They are different because:
• Love is comprehended by faith, whereas
justice is sober and rational
• Love is always personal in nature, whereas
justice is impartial and institutional
• However, love and justice are bound
together in scripture, and justice without
love reduces justice to “a few basic rights”
8. Love and
Justice
in Tension
• They not only different, but in tension:
• Love, as part of the “unrealistic” ideal of the
ethics of Jesus, has no place in messy social
and political life
• Only justice works here, and it often stands in
tension with agape love
• However, it is a relative justice that allows far
too much latitude to “morally upright” people
to enact the demands of justice (such as
businesses and governments)
9. Love and
Justice as
Supplementary
• They mutually supplement each other:
• Recognize their biblical connections
• Recognize the way they have mutually
supported one another in history
• Supplement each other
• Love sees the immediate need, while justice
casts the eye more widely
• Justice can provide direction and even
correction to awe-inspiring ideal of love
10. Freedom and
Justice
• What is the relationship between freedom and
justice?
• Freedom is the key to justice (JS Mill)
• Yet, the demands of justice, both retributive and
distributive, often limit freedom.
• The Industrial Revolution
• Hollinger suggests a model that acknowledges the
tension between justice, freedom, and order.
11. Who provides
justice?
• Who or what is responsible for
providing or ensuring justice?
• State
• Church
• Individuals
12. Liberation
(as pioneered by
Gustavo Gutierrez)
• Three levels of liberation
• Liberation from oppressive social structures
• Liberation to profound inner freedom in face of
servitude
• Viktor Frankl
• Kunta Kinte
• This usually requires community /alternative
identity.
• Liberation to inner freedom from sin
• What are some examples of these?
13. Liberation
Theology
(from the work of Clodovis
and Leonardo Boff)
• Working within the “hermeneutical circle”
• Begin with one‘s experience
• Progress to reflection
• Progress to an altered experience
• A central question is this: How do you
“posture” yourself ”?
14. Justice and
Shalom
(from the work of
Nicholas Wolterstorff)
• Wolterstorff asks a central question: What is
our guiding vision for the kingdom of God on
earth?
• His answer is shalom – “peace intertwined
with justice.”
• “Shalom is the human being dwelling at
peace in all his or her relationships: with
God, with self, with fellows, with nature.”
15. Justice and
Shalom
• Shalom is not just the absence of violence or
hostility; nor is it merely the hard, sterile
presence of justice. Rather, it is enjoyment that
arise from being in right and holy
relationship.
• Shalom requires justice, but it also goes
beyond it.
16. Justice and
Shalom
• Shalom is exhibited in community in several
ascending levels of godly holiness (whole-ness).
• First, shalom is an ethical community. Without justice,
“shalom is wounded”.
• Second, it is a responsible community; it models
obedience to “God’s laws for the multifaceted
existence of his creatures.”
• Finally, shalom is a delighted and delightful community.
The prophet Isaiah describes shalom as “images of
harmony.”
17. Justice and
Shalom
• Thus, “development and liberation must
go hand in hand” if shalom is to be
achieved.
• “Ours is both a cultural mandate and a
liberation mandate.”
