Their unity is a positive ideal, though not an absolute norm. Women and men should enjoy equal personal respect and social power. In reply to feminist critics of oppressive gender and sex norms and to communitarian proponents of Christian morality, Cahill argues that effective intercultural criticism of injustice requires a modest defence of moral objectivity. She thus adopts a critical realism as its moral foundation, drawing on Aristotle and Aquinas. Moral judgment should be based on reasonable, practical, prudent and cross-culturally nuanced reflection on human experience. This is combined with a New Testament model of community, centred on solidarity, compassion and inclusion of the economically or socially marginalised.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Lisa Sowle Cahill, Robin Gill</note> <subject> <topic>Sex role -- Religious aspects</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Christian ethics</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Feminism -- Religious aspects -- Christianity</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">241.66</classification> <classification authority="ddc">L769-C13</classification> <identifier type="isbn">978052157886, 0521578485</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13037/se.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13037/se.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2023-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071215.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
