Publisher's Description
Ethics and Advocacy considers the connections and differences between critical reflection or moral arguments or narratives and advocacy for particular issues regarding justice and moral behavior and dispositions. The chapters in this volume share an interest in overcoming polarizing division that does not enable fruitful give-and-take discussion and even possible persuasive justifications. The authors all believe that both ethics and advocacy are important and should inform each other, but each offers a divergent point of view on the way forward to these agreed-upon ends. Our shared goal is to avoid academic withdrawal and to speak relevantly to the important issues of our day while halting--or at least mitigating--the disruptive discourse--almost shouting--that characterizes our polarized current society.

“Today, ‘everyone knows’ that theology always comes out of and returns to a sociopolitical context. But, as Ethics and Advocacy shows, whether and how theology should advocate for contextual reforms is a contested and divisive question. . . . No matter which side of the debate you incline toward, this collection sheds light on roles we fulfill every day without always being clear on their connections.”
“The authors of this probing volume lead us through the debate between ethics and advocacy as . . . an opportunity for us to see how integrating the two may give us productive and much-needed ways in which we can bridge the polarizations that often divide us and engage in the necessary conversations we must have to build and maintain a vibrant democracy.”
