Human Freedom and Social Order: An Essay in Christian Philosophy is a book written by John Daniel Wild. The book explores the relationship between human freedom and social order from a Christian philosophical perspective. The author argues that human beings have free will, but that this freedom must be exercised within a framework of social order in order to maintain a just society. The book is divided into three parts. The first part examines the concept of human freedom, discussing its relationship to morality and the role it plays in shaping society. The second part explores the idea of social order, discussing the different ways in which societies can be organized and the role of government in maintaining order. The third part of the book brings these two ideas together, examining how human freedom and social order can be balanced in a way that promotes justice and the common good. Throughout the book, the author draws on Christian theology and philosophy to support his arguments, but the book is accessible to readers of all backgrounds who are interested in exploring the relationship between freedom and order in society.

War And The Christian Conscience: How Shall Modern War Be Conducted Justly? is a book by theologian and ethicist Paul Ramsey that explores the ethical and moral implications of war from a Christian perspective. The book delves into the question of how modern warfare can be conducted in a just and ethical manner, while also examining the role of the Christian conscience in shaping attitudes towards war. Ramsey argues that war is a complex and multifaceted issue that requires careful consideration of its moral and ethical implications. He explores the concept of just war theory, which holds that war can be morally justified under certain circumstances, and examines the various criteria that must be met for a war to be considered just. The book also addresses the issue of nuclear war and the unique ethical challenges it presents. Ramsey argues that the use of nuclear weapons is morally unacceptable, and that Christians have a responsibility to work towards the abolition of nuclear weapons. Throughout the book, Ramsey emphasizes the importance of the Christian conscience in shaping attitudes towards war and in promoting peace. He argues that Christians have a unique responsibility to work towards peace and justice, and that this responsibility extends to the realm of international relations and warfare. Overall, War And The Christian Conscience is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the ethical and moral implications of war from a Christian perspective. It offers a nuanced and thoughtful approach to a complex and controversial issue, and is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of religion and politics.

Hallowell makes a significant argument in favour of the importance of moral values in the orderly functioning of modern democracies. Hallowell begins with a survey of the role that classical liberalism and faith in man as a reasonable, moral, and spiritual actor played in the emergence of democratic self-government. He sharply criticises positivist thought and moral relativism as direct challenges to the notion that transcendent truths guide individuals in their actions and influence how people participate in a democratic society. Hallowell reminds us that at its core, a well-functioning democracy must be based on a fundamental respect for the dignity of the individual.
