Sustainability as Flourishing

A guest post by Victor Morales. Sustainable development has become the main issue at the dawn of this century. It is in the first place an economic term applied to the efficient use of natural resources with an eye on the possibility of satisfying both the needs of not only Read more…

Flourishing trees

About six weeks ago, I had the privilege of chairing one of the series of ‘Feeding the Earth’ webinars hosted by Thinking Faith Network, exploring contemporary research into food security from a ‘values’ perspective. The opening talk, given by Dr Yoseph Araya of the Open University, was an introduction to Read more…

Feeding the Earth – talks online!

Does Christian faith make a difference to food and eating? Anyone who reads the Bible will know that the answer is yes – absolutely. But how can knowing Jesus affect studies of agriculture, economics and diet? Over the last month, we gathered eight Christian scholars to speak about the many Read more…

When ethical systems collide

News reports in the UK these last few days have commented on the resignation of Lord Geidt, the Prime Minister’s ethics adviser. Alongside the speculation by columnists, bewilderment about the reason for Lord Geidt’s sudden departure has been expressed by none other than the Prime Minister himself. The puzzle seems Read more…

Learning by example?

This year I have been thinking often about exemplars – figures in history, or fiction, seen as admirable or exemplary in some way. The main reason for this is that I have been moonlighting as the assistant for an Oxford-based discussion group called Ethics through Fiction and Film, which has Read more…

The Foundation of Christian Scholars(hip)

We now come to the conclusion of our series on Herman Dooyeweerd’s In the Twilight of Western Thought. It is in this final chapter (8) that the full weight of Dooyeweerd’s critique of historicism specifically and Christian attempts to engage in unbiblical scholarship is revealed. The conclusion of Dooyeweerd’s argument is Read more…

Feeding the Earth

This Friday sees the launch of a series of lunchtime webinars about a topic that affects all of us: sustainable food systems. From farm to fork, what does it mean for our food to be sustainably produced, processed, distributed and consumed? As consumers, what kinds of products and ingredients are Read more…

Faith, Theology, and Philosophy – For All!

So far in our journey through Herman Dooyeweerd’s book In the Twilight of Western Thought, we have explored key concepts related to the development of a distinctly Christian philosophy. But, because Dooyeweerd intends to develop a philosophy that is radically (literally, from the root) Christian, the question he comes to in chapters Read more…

Assessment, ranking and identity

As we enter May and begin to feel summer approach, academics around the UK are gearing up for a season of marking student exams, essays and coursework. This year, however, we are also nervously awaiting some results of our own: May 12 marks the date on which the results of Read more…

Swallowed up by life

Easter is mysterious. This isn’t a conclusion many come to in our culture today: from a secular point of view, it constitutes only a pleasant, mostly child-oriented spring festival, while even the Christians who continue to celebrate the religious aspect tend to present it primarily as a celebration in the Read more…
