SUMMARY:War\, Peace and the Christian
DESCRIPTION:Human Dignity Reading Group\nEveryone knows that a “balance of terror” is a poor substitute for the true peace of human flourishing. Pope Paul VI said\, “No more war!\, war never again”. How can Christians help bridge the gap between the dire reality of actual and threatened military destruction and the Christian aspiration for the “peace which surpasses all understanding”? \nFor general background on the topic please see: \nLisa Sowle Cahill\, Love your Enemies: Discipleship\, Pacifism\, and Just War Theory\, (Minneapolis: Fortress Press\, 1994) \n  \nAll meetings will be held between 4 and 6pm in the Aquinas Room\, 17 Beaumont Street.  \n  \n23rd October 2019 \nJust War and the Commitment to Peace: This session explores the horror of modern warfare and its influence on changes in Catholic teachings relating to war and peace. \n\nBenedict XV\, To Peoples now at war and their rulers\, (1915)\nPaul VI’s Address to the United Nations\, 1965\nJohn Paul II\, Speech to the United Nations\, (1979)\n\nWhilst it is not essential to do so\, it might be useful to read: \n\nJohn XXIII\, Pacem in Terris\, (1963)\n\n  \n6th November 2019  \nDevelopment as Peace: This session will investigate the meaning behind Paul VI’s famous dictum ‘if you want justice\, work for peace’. \n\n Paul VI\, Populorum Progressio\, (1967)\n\n  \n20th November 2019  \nThe Human Person and the Nature of Peace: This session will explore the relationship between God’s plan for humanity and the need to pursue peace. \n\n Benedict XVI\, The Human Person and the Right to Peace\, (2007)\nFrancis\, No Longer Slaves\, But Brothers and Sisters\, (2015)\n\n  \n4th December 2019  \nThe Environment: during this session we will discuss the relationship between care for creation and peace. \n\nFrancis\, Laudato Si\, (2015)\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Human Dignity in the Judaeo-Christian Tradition
DESCRIPTION:Catholic\, Orthodox\, Anglican and Protestant Perspectives\nBook launch\n  \nDignity is a fundamental aspect of our lives\, yet one we rarely pause to consider; our understandings of dignity\, on individual\, collective and philosophical perspectives\, shape how we think\, act and relate to others. This book offers an historical survey of how dignity has been understood and explores the concept in the Judaeo-Christian tradition. \nWorld-renowned contributors examine the roots of human dignity in classical Greece and Rome and the Scriptures\, as well as in the work of theologians\, such as St Thomas Aquinas and St John Paul II. Further chapters consider dignity within Renaissance art and sacred music. The volume shows that dignity is also a contemporary issue by analysing situations where the traditional understanding has been challenged by philosophical and policy developments. To this end\, further essays look at the role of dignity in discussions about transhumanism\, religious freedom\, robotics and medicine. \nGrounded in the principal Christian traditions of Catholicism\, Orthodoxy\, Anglicanism\, and Protestantism\, this book offers an interdisciplinary and cross-period approach to a timely topic. It validates the notion of human dignity and offers an introduction to the field\, while also challenging it. \nThe book is edited by Prof John Loughlin\, Fellow at Blackfriars Hall and Emeritus Fellow of St Edmund’s College\, University of Cambridge\, UK. \n
