A Morally Complex World: Engaging Contemporary Moral Theology
How can people celebrate the gospel of life in their daily lives? What about cloning? Is euthanasia morally acceptable in certain cases, such as terminal illness? In case of health reasons, mental illness, pregnancy due to rape, etc., is abortion morally acceptable? Are you in favor of the use of contraceptives, both natural and artificial? A Morally Complex World will not answer such complex questions in detail, but it does provide a framework for trying to grapple better with the first question of how we should lead our moral lives in general, as well as some of the concrete ethical issues the other three questions raise. A Morally Complex World is an accessible introduction to moral theology covering the methodology of moral theology; basic concepts such as conscience and moral agency; natural law, moral norms; how the Bible can be used in Christian ethics; how to dialogue on contested ethical issues; how to consider sin and moral failure; and finally, how to mediate moral principles and moral teaching in a pastorally sensitive manner in concrete life situations. Chapters are "Mapping a Moral Methodology," "The Natural Law and Moral Norms: Moving Along the Rational Claim Axis," "Scripture and Ethics: Moving Along the Sacred Claim Axis," "The Sanctuary of Conscience: Where the Axes Intersect," "Modes of Moral Discourse: Navigating Towards a Common Ground," "Navigating in the Morally Complex World: Casuistry with a Human Face," and "Sin and Failure in a Morally Complex World.".

Why Sports Morally Matter (Routledge Critical Studies in Sport)
Why Sports Morally Matter is a deeply critical examination of pressing ethical issues in sports - and in society as a whole. Exploring the broad historical context of modern America, William J Morgan argues that the current state of sports is a powerful indictment of our wealth-riven society and hyper-individualistic way of life. Taking on critics from all sides of the political debate, Morgan makes the case that, despite the negating effect of free market values, sports still possess important features that encourage social, moral and political values crucial to the flourishing of a democratic polity. It is this potential to transform society and the individual that makes sports a key battleground in the struggle for the moral soul of contemporary America. Why Sports Morally Matter represents an important contribution to the ongoing debate about the role of sports in society. For students and researchers working in sport studies, philosophy and cultural studies, and for anyone who cares seriously about sports, it is an essential text..
