Boulder, CO.: Westview Press, 1993. In this original interpretation and critique of Paul Ramsey’s ethical thought, D. Stephen Long traces the development of one of the mid-twentieth century’s most important and controversial religious social thinkers. Long examines Ramsey’s early liberal idealism as well as later influences on his work, including the just war doctrine, Reinhold Niebuhr’s realism, H. Richard Niebuhr’s historical relativism, Karl Barth’s neo-orthodoxy, and Jacques Maritain’s integralism. Long overcomes obstacles confronting any Ramsey scholar—such as a theology that cannot be systematized and the complexities of Ramsey’s own writing—and lends sharp insight to the philosophical, theological, and moral issues we face in the twentieth century. 220 pgs. Dustjacket in mylar. . First Edition. Hard Cover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
