Agape Ethics

Philosophy

“In Agape Ethics, Greenway skillfully engages philosophy, theology, ethics, and moral reasoning in a work that wades into the complex world in which we find ourselves: evermore aware of the beauty and complexity of the planet's eco-systems and inhabitants, while also aware of the difficult ethical challenges facing us as human actions threaten the planetary community. Williams' enlivening prose invites the reader in, equipping the reader with the tools to think morally and act ethically while embracing all creatures with love and gratitude. It is an important contribution between philosophy and theology, illuminating how to ethically and spiritually take our place as fellow creatures on the planet.”

Meeting the Enemy

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The title of O'Brien's book says a great deal about its content, which is innovative and accessible in its approach to this topic. While giving a clear and complex picture, Meeting the Enemy also helps the reader in how to respond. This book provides a comprehensive and creative way to teach about "atmospheric defilement," or global warming, empowering readers to understand and act; it will work in a wide variety of classrooms and subjects. I look forward to teaching it.”
