RELIGION
and ETHICS

Welcome to the Georgetown University Press Religion & Ethics catalog.

The character of our list is reflected in the mission statement of the Press, which references an
international group of authors representing a broad range of intellectual perspectives. The diversity and
sheer quality of these authors is astonishing, and the critical issues they addressfrom human rights to
virtues to interreligious dialogue to local and international politics to disabilityare evidence of the vital
role that religious thought and practice has in the world today. Here are just some of the highlights you
will find in these pages:
We have five new books in our long-running Moral Traditions series, including David Cloutiers
penetrating critique of the vice of luxury, Linda Hogans masterful study of religion and human rights,
and Jason Greigs poignant analysis of the LArche community and Christian friendship. In addition,
two of our authors directly address the role of the Catholic Church in American culture: Cathleen
Kaveny articulates a culture of engagement, while Julie Rubio clears space for common ground.
Three of our titles continue our tradition of exploring Muslim-Christian dialogue, featuring two
volumes in our Building Bridges series, edited by Lucinda Mosher and David Marshall, along with
Kenneth Craggs The Quran and the West.
Thomas Banchoff and Jos Casanova of Georgetown University have edited a brilliant and cohesive
collection titled The Jesuits and Globalization that identifies historical legacies and contemporary
challenges, while preeminent German theologian Wolfgang Huber offers Ethics: The Fundamental
Questions of Our Lives, a teachable introduction to how one can understand the most complex issues
of being human.
For the past thirty-seven years the Press has published the Journal of the Society of Christian Ethics,
which includes instrumental and provocative essays from leading lights and rising stars. Edited by
Mark Allman and Tobias Winright, this journal not only reflects the contours of the field, but is helping
to shape its future.
For a listing of our publications beyond this catalog, please visit our website, press.georgetown.edu. And
feel free to contact me with a book proposal that might fit our list; I would be happy to speak with you.
Thank you for your interest in our work.

THE VICE OF LUXURY

Economic Excess in a Consumer Age

David Cloutier

The Vice of Luxury revives the ancient criticism of luxury as a moral vice
harmful to both the self and society. Engaging with ideas from business to
economics, David Cloutier proposes a new approach to economic ethics
that focuses attention on our everyday choices. In so doing, he develops
an ethic of consumption that is grounded in Christian moral convictions.
David Cloutiers insightful treatment of luxury is creative and prophetic,
without the oversimplifications prevalent in much prophetic discourse
today. Drawing on philosophy, economics, and theology, he traces the
history of ideas about luxury in a manner both scholarly and accessible
to a wide audience. A truly excellent volume that will challenge how most
of us think about our own lives.
Daniel Rush Finn, Professor of Theology and Clemens Professor
of Economics, St. Johns University

Drawing on history, economics, philosophy, and theology, Cloutier advances our understanding of
luxury as a vice and aptly shows just how far most of us are from virtue.
Julie Hanlon Rubio, Professor of Christian Ethics, St. Louis University

KEEPING FAITH WITH HUMAN RIGHTS

Linda Hogan

One of modernitys great civilizing triumphs, human rights, still endures

sustained attempts at disenfranchisement. Linda Hogan defends human
rights language while simultaneously re-envisioning its future. Drawing
on the constructivist strand of political philosophy, she shows that it is
theoretically possible and politically necessary for theologians to keep
faith with human rights. Indeed, she argues, the Christian tradition as
the wellspring of many of the ethical commitments considered central to
human rights must embrace its vital role in the project.
Hogan makes a most valuable contribution to the cause of human
rights worldwide and across cultures. She mounts a persuasive case for
the universality of human rights, addressing postcolonial, feminist, and
postmodern critiques. An essential work.
David Hollenbach, SJ, University Chair in Human Rights and
International Justice, Boston College

A book as deep as it is clear, one that gets under the skin of what human rights mean today
thoroughly contemporary but in a way that never loses sight of the power of the past to mold the
present. A great achievement.

THE COMMUNITY OF BELIEVERS

Christian and Muslim Perspectives

Lucinda Mosher and David Marshall, Editors

The Community of Believers offers the proceedings of the 2013 Building
Bridges seminar, a dialogue between leading Christian and Muslim
scholars under the stewardship of Georgetown University.
The Community of Believers is the twelfth volume in what is arguably
the most important extended series of scriptural and theological
interfaith conversations: the Building Bridges seminars, originated by the
Archbishop of Canterbury and now supported by Georgetown University.
Dr. Pim Valkenberg, The Catholic University of America

Understanding one another is key to building stronger Christian-Muslim bonds. This volume of
essays and associated religious texts provides a basis for dialogue in three timely areas of ChristianMuslim relations, all focusing on issues of community. The format of the book provides readers with a
strong source for developing new conversations between Christians and Muslims as well as bringing
new topics to bear on existing dialogue efforts.

RELIGION AND THE STRUGGLE FOR

EUROPEAN UNION

Confessional Culture and the Limits of Integration

Brent F. Nelsen and James L. Guth

In Religion and the Struggle for European Union, Brent F. Nelsen and
James L. Guth delve into the powerful role of religion in shaping European
attitudes on politics, political integration, and the national and continental
identities of its leaders and citizens. Catholicism for centuries promoted
the universality of the Church and the essential unity of Christendom.
Protestantism, by contrast, esteemed particularity and feared Catholic
dominance. Nelsen and Guth compare the Catholic view of Europe as a single cultural entity best
governed as a unified polity against traditional Protestant estrangement from continental culture and
its preference for pragmatic cooperation over the sacrifice of sovereignty. As the authors show, this
deep cultural divide, rooted in the struggles of the Reformation, resists the ongoing secularization of
the continent. Unless addressed, it threatens decades of hard-won gains in security and prosperity.
Two top American scholars join forces to explore European complexities in a both distanciated and
intimate way. This book is a striking illustration of the significance of religion as a whole and of the
resilience of diverse confessional cultures in the longue dure. A must-read for anybody willing to
understand contemporary politics in the European Union.

BIOETHICS AND THE HUMAN GOODS

An Introduction to Natural Law Bioethics

Alfonso Gmez-Lobo with John Keown

Bioethics and the Human Goods offers a clear, short, and expert
introduction to bioethics from a natural law perspective, a philosophical
tradition which traces its origins to classical antiquity and is currently
enjoying an exciting renaissance. With its emphasis on human goods
such as life, health, friendship, and knowledgeand the wrongness of
intentionally turning against them, the book provides a valuable approach
to controversial bioethical questions at the beginning and end of life.
Alfonso Gmez-Lobo was a thinker and writer of uncommon insight and wisdom. . . . Praise to John
Keown, therefore, for bringing us Professor Gmez-Lobos Bioethics and the Human Goods. It will be
a valuable resource in our efforts to shape law and public policy in line with central truths about right
and wrong.

RECONSIDERING INTELLECTUAL
DISABILITY

LArche, Medical Ethics, and Christian Friendship

Jason Reimer Greig

Drawing on the controversial case of Ashley X, a girl with severe
developmental disabilities who received interventionist medical treatment
to limit her growth and keep her body forever smalla procedure now
known as the Ashley TreatmentReconsidering Intellectual Disability
explores important questions at the intersection of disability theory,
Christian moral theology, and bioethics.
Greig has given us in Reconsidering Intellectual Disability not only an extraordinary, erudite analysis
of the issues surrounding the people we call mentally disabled, but this is even more a profound
book whose humanity has implications far and beyond the books explicit subject. This is the book that
must be read by anyone concerned with care of the handicapped. I would rather say, however, that
this is a book that must be read by anyone seeking to know how to live well.

ETHICS

The Fundamental Questions of Our Lives

Wolfgang Huber
Brian McNeil, Translator
In the twenty-first century the basic questions of ethics are no longer
the abstract terms of ethical theory, but the concrete and burning issues
related to the influence of life sciences, the impact of a globalized economy,
and the consequences of present decisions for the future of humankind.
Ethics: The Fundamental Questions of Our Lives analyzes twenty ethical
issues that address education and culture, labor and economy, the
environment and sustainability, democracy and cosmopolitanism, peace
and war, and life and death.
Wolfgang Huber is a leading churchman and a brilliant public intellectuala rare combination indeed.
In his book on ethics he bridges the gap between abstract reasoning on fundamental questions and
the mere expression of normative convictions. Laymen and professional ethicists alike will learn from
his sensitive analyses and creative solutions of contemporary ethical problems.

HUMAN DIGNITY AND THE FUTURE

OF GLOBAL INSTITUTIONS
Mark P. Lagon and Anthony Clark Arend, Editors

What role should human dignity play in guiding the mission of international
institutions? Human dignity consists of the agency of individuals to apply
their gifts to thrive and requires social recognition of each persons
inherent value and claim to equal access to opportunity. Contributors
examine how traditional and emerging institutions are already advancing
human dignity and then identify strategies to make human dignity more
central to the work of global institutions.
The concept of human dignity is powerful, but the international
institutions and legal regimes charged with realizing it are not. Lagon and
Arend have assembled a wealth of new strategies for strengthening these
institutions to make human dignity a reality in the lives of more people.

STORY OF A SECRET STATE

My Report to the World

Jan Karski
Foreword by Madeleine Albright
Jan Karskis Story of a Secret State stands as one of the most poignant
and inspiring memoirs of World War II and the Holocaust. With elements
of a spy thriller, documenting his experiences in the Polish Underground,
and as one of the first eyewitness accounts of the systematic slaughter
of the Jews by the German Nazis, this volume is a remarkable testimony
of one mans courage, and a nations struggle for resistance against
overwhelming oppression. This definitive editionwhich includes a
foreword by Madeleine Albright, a biographical essay by Yale historian
Timothy Snyder, an afterword by Zbigniew Brzezinski, previously
unpublished photos, notes, further reading, and a glossaryis an apt legacy for this hero of conscience
during the most fraught and fragile moment in modern history.
A decade before Professor Karski began his remarkable tenure at Georgetowns School of Foreign
Service, he was already teaching by the power of examplewith lessons of heroism, resilience, and
uncompromising leadership. All freedom-seeking people around the world should know Karskis story.
