| Summary: | The article develops five contributions that Lisa Sowle Cahill has made to reimagining Christian ethics or moral theology. The emphasis is on methodology involving her characteristic “and,” which also has important ramifications for the content issues she has discussed in her long, outstanding career. The five contributions are: the primacy of the theological aspect which brings together both moral theology and systematic theology; the philosophical notion of human flourishing based on feminism and realistic Thomism; bringing together the Catholic and ecumenical; challenging the dichotomy of the traditional distinction between individual and social ethics by emphasizing the social dimension of what has often been regarded as individual ethics; the vision of what a good society should be and the efforts needed to bring about such a vision in practice. |
