An Interpretation of Christian Ethics
Christianity is a prophetic religion, unlike other world religions except for Judaism. The other world religions, such as Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam, are religions of culture, where mysticism is used to find the eternal truths. Prophetic religion uses myths to reach for an utlimate fulfillment of meaning through God. The ethic of Jesus, the ideal of love, is virtually impossible to attain in our world, but we must strive to a A dense, complicated work, but still worth reading.
The ethic of Jesus, the ideal of love, is virtually impossible to attain in our world, but we must strive to attain it. Sin arises when men strive to become God-like, as in the story of the Fall and expulsion from the Garden of Eden.

The problem of traditional Christianity is that it sees the world from an unduly pessimistic viewpoint, and cedes control of secular life to whoever is in power, no matter whether they are good or evil. The problem of modern liberal Christianity is that is unduly optimistic, thinking man is perfectible. This leads to the sin of men believing they are God-like, with disastrous consequences. Absolute forgiveness is an impossibility in secular life, so it must be tempered by reality.
Dec 06, Christopher rated it it was amazing Shelves: Nov 27, Chris rated it really liked it. This was another dense book, but I liked it better than the previous Niebuhr book I read because Niebuhr is now trying to apply his ideas to real life. As before, I'm not sure I understood everything he had to say, but the main point seems to be that Jesus' law of love must be recognized as an impossible possibility. That understanding, coupled with a personal understanding of our own sin and other shortcomings, forms the basis for an attitude of forgiveness toward others.

Niebuhr also continues This was another dense book, but I liked it better than the previous Niebuhr book I read because Niebuhr is now trying to apply his ideas to real life. Niebuhr also continues to hammer home the point that there is a difference between personal and organizational morality. Essentially, once there are group interests involved in a situation, it is impossible to arrive at a truly fair and satisfactory resolution.
Still, Niebuhr sees the hope the "possibility" of Jesus' impossible possibility that Christianity offers as a motivational driver behind efforts to reach a better resolution than whatever the current situation is. In his eyes, there is always room for improvement. Tough going at some points, but worth the read.
