In this volume, Shirley Roels (the primary author) explores the callings and responsibilities of both male and female Christians as they work together to lead both profit and not-for-profit organizations into the 21st century. To this end, she considers the struggles over gender relations that have emerged in the last thirty years by examining gender-related changes in organizational life. The volume offers critical responses to the positions developed in Roels' lead essay from Paul Camenisch and Barbara Andolsen and a rejoinder from Roels. The responses further develop concepts of Christian vocation and professionalism, and consider how these ideas apply to "pink collar" and "blue collar" workers. Through this dialogical format, the volume makes a significant contribution to Christian economic ethics in our increasingly complex emerging global context. Organization Man, Organization Woman helps the reader: * understand the implications of the changing international, political, and economic scene for Christian ethics * see what Christian ethics has to say that is useful in the rapidly changing world of business in a global setting * reexamine such concepts as vocation, covenant, sin, grace, and community

Krueger offers a Christian ethical assessment of the modern business corporation in a global market economy. He argues for a Christian transformative ethic of responsibility consistent with the notion of a common good for society. He believes that this ethic includes the moral expectation that global market capitalism, rightly ordered, will demonstrate its capacity to move most people out of poverty and dependence. The key concept is "productive justice." Shriver and Nash offer critical responses.

Ethics and the Urban Ethos: An Essay in Social Theory and Theological Reconstruction

Beacon Press

This well-known Christian ethicist ably bridges the gap between theology and political economy, proposing a theologically informed view of modern economic life. He traces the emergence of modern Protestant and Catholic views of the economic order from anti-slavery movements to contemporary Ecumenical themes. He delineates the failures of socialist, liberationist and laissez-faire systems and retrieves the neglected contributions of such figures as Shailer Mathews and Walter Rauschenbusch, while showing the continued relevance of Max Weber's view of economy and society for Christian ethics. He concludes that Christian stewardship must cultivate and articulate a new public theology that will shape the structures and policies of public life. Originally published in 1987 by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.
