Seller's Description:
New. Professor of theology and ethics at Loyola College, Vigen Guroian (an Armenian Orthodox lay-theologian) has edited and updated his original 1987 publication with the steadfast conviction that the Orthodox tradition need ''show a better way of life'' than that of prevailing anti-Christian secularism. Greatly influenced by the writings of Fr. Alexander Schmemann, Guroian draws his ethical scheme from the Church's liturgical life, demonstrating its need for a christological foundation and eucharistic structure. Interacting with the likes of Richard John Neuhaus, Stanley Hauerwas, Christopher Lasch, John Courtney Murray and Stanley Harakas, Guroian explains that though an Orthodox ethic may be distinguished from Orthodox doctrine, it can never be separated. Quoting John Chrysostom: ''Let this, I say, be our way...let us, before all words, astound them by our way of life. For this is the main battle, this is the unanswerable argument, the argument from actions. '' Still, Guroian notes, there is a need for a direct and developed approach to Orthodox ethics, and he assembles his essays under three broad categories: Theanthropic Ethics (as centered in Christ, the God-man), Liturgical Ethics and Social Ethics. More specifically, he delves into Trinitarian considerations, reflections on baptism, worship and marriage as sacramental means to transformation and the particular difficulties facing the Church within American culture. He cautions (with Schmemann) against Orthodoxy becoming simply ''the fourth major faith'' rather than ''an apostolic and evangelical life''--an ongoing catechesis possible only through liturgical revival.
