RLS 119 Mercy and Justice


3 credits

Mercy and justice are fundamental virtues of Christian ethics. These virtues guide our reaction to many ethical problems today, including wealth inequality, climate change, and poverty. This course will explore virtue ethics using justice and mercy as a primary focus, and analyzing the way in which these virtues direct and shape the Christian response to issues in social ethics.  We will also compare the Christian understanding of justice and mercy with other conceptions of these virtues outside the Christian theological tradition.
