Introduction to Christian Ethics

In the Horizon of the New Testament

by Alberto de Mingo Kaminouchi

Description

More than affirming a set of doctrines, being a Christian means to get involved in the task of responding to the God of Jesus of Nazareth without reservations. By imitating his Teacher and under the guidance of the Spirit, Jesus’ followers can contribute to the rising of a new creation already here on earth. That is the only way for Christian ethics to find its meaning and fulfil its goal.

This innovative handbook runs through the New Testament with an eye to three key concepts in Aristotle’s ethics: happiness, virtue, and love, in order to create a basic grammar which allows today’s reader to enter into Christian ethics.

Ediciones Sígueme

Ediciones Sígueme, Spain’s Nacional Award for Best Publishing House in 2005, is a publishing house of Christian inspiration whose goal is the creation of a more fully human, brotherly, and universal culture, open to transcendent values.     1948 can be considered as the official founding date of the publishing house, when it was inscribed under the trademark «Sígueme».     It was at the end of the sixties when the present project of the publishing house began its true development. The defining event in this process was the Second Vatican Council. The renewal espoused by the Council led to the creation of different series (Library of Biblical Studies, Truth and Image, Hermeneia…) which are still published nowadays. It also gave origin to the spirit of openness and plurality in the study of the religious phenomenon, one of the characteristic features of the publishing house.    From its inception to the present year Ediciones Sígueme has published more than 2000 titles. They are a valuable service to the Church, our society and the Spanish culture.
