Oliver O'Donovan's Moral TheologyTensions and Triumphs\nAuthor(s): Samuel Tranter\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, United Kingdom\nImprint: T.& T.Clark Ltd\nISBN-13: 9780567696410, 978-0567696410\nSynopsis\nThis book offers the first sustained, full-length treatment of the wide-ranging work of major Anglican theologian Oliver ODonovan. Analyzing such key texts as Resurrection and Moral Order, The Desire of the Nations and Ethics as Theology, Samuel Tranter shows that the relationship between eschatology and ethics is an area of significant tension in ODonovans evolving vision of moral theology.\n\nTranter traces this tension as it relates to ODonovans writing and contemporary discussion around natural law, divine command and human flourishing, as well as to particular topics such as poverty, marriage and singleness and biotechnology. He also connects it with the broader doctrinal features of ODonovans project, such as his accounts of creation, sin and red.
