초록/해제  
요약 : Just over sixteen hundred years ago, another Christian theologian by the name of Gregory of Nazianzus was facing similar difficult questions. Christians, for the first time, were not only tolerated but also increasingly becoming one of the formative voices in the Roman Empire. Gregory, amidst competing philosophical and religious visions, including a number of different Christian voices, sought to articulate a vision of the Christian life within a rapidly changing, pluralistic society. It would be his articulation of family and public life that would eventually take root in the Byzantine East. As such, because Gregory is coming at the problem from the opposite historical direction, moving from pluralism to Christendom, he is able to shed light on our current moral dilemma in the United States. That is to say, as society moves out of Christendom, moral theologians have taken for granted many moral assumptions that moral pluralism no longer allows. Gregory, on the other hand, had to develop his position for family and public life without any Christian cultural consensus. Thus, this study argues that his different moral theology provides moral theologians an alternative response needed in relationship to the challenge of moral pluralism. Further, moral theologians are offered a quite different way of thinking about the moral life with respect to marriage, children, and public life.
초록/해제  
요약 : Moral pluralism has brought to the forefront a challenge for moral theologians living in the twenty-first century. This basic challenge of moral pluralism over the past several decades has been to contest the way in which the authority of moral systems are established. For example, it is now accepted by moral theologians that "naked" reason is not capable of delivering universal moral truths. In light of this challenge, an increasing number of moral theologians have argued that the truth of the Christian narrative cannot be demonstrated outside of a particular religious or philosophical narrative. This fact is illustrated in this study in the thought of both Don Browning and Stanley Hauerwas within the United States, each representing two opposing moral positions.
초록/해제  
요약 : Yet, even with the shift by some moral theologians to a moral theology that locates itself within a tradition-based perspective, little agreement has been arrived at. Moral systems continue to be contested on the basis of their background moral assumptions with no clear way to resolve the tensions among moral theologians. Yet, moral theologians within the United States in response to the challenge of moral pluralism continue to try to gain the middle ground by labeling those with whom they disagree as either accomodationists or isolationists with respect to the surrounding culture. This truth, again, is demonstrated in the writings of Don Browning and Stanley Hauerwas.
