Since both rest on the bedrock subfoundation of evangelical faith (fides quae), theology may comment on first-rank decisions concerning the constitutive principle of the ethical (duty, goodness/happiness?), on the target of moral evaluation and training (act or habitus, individuals or communities?), and on the sources of guidance (proper hermeneutics, worship, theology - revealed or natural -, historical context?). The main partners in the dialogue include Oliver O'Donovan, Paul Ricoeur and Helmut Burkhardt, while some attention is devoted to the debate around Brian Brock's recent book. |
