Fully Human in Christ

The Incarnation as the End of Christian Ethics

By: Todd H. Speidell

Thomas F. Torrance's theology included a thoroughgoing, albeit implicit, ethic of reconciliation. It focused on the personalizing and humanizing mediation of Christ in all realms of life--including not only a supposed private dimension of human life but also the social, historical, and political structures of human society and even of the cosmos itself. This book builds upon that vision of a Christian ethic radically rooted in God's grace, which encompasses, sustains, and transforms the entire human and created order. A trinitarian-incarnational social ethic does not begin with our human causes, projects, and agendas, however noble they might be, but with witness to the reconciling person and work of Jesus Christ for us.

From Conduct to Character, 4th Edition

A Primer in Ethical Theory

By: Todd H. Speidell

From Conduct to Character should be a wonderful teaching tool, especially for beginning ethics students. The case studies used in this book do not merely encourage students to make up their own minds. Rather, they draw students into a deeper consideration of their character and of the communities that make their character possible. Stanley Hauerwas, Gilbert T. Rowe Professor of Theological Ethics, Duke Divinity School, Durham, North Carolina Ethical theory and contemporary ethical crises find a unique marriage in this very useful introduction to ethics by Todd Speidell. Brief enough to use for an introductory ethics course, Speidell's book uses intriguing case studies to flesh out the perennial challenges of both classical and contemporary ethical theories. Never has an introductory ethics text included so much in a slim, affordable volume. Christian D. Kettler, Prof. of Theology and Philosophy, Friends University, Wichita, Kansas From Conduct to Character is a concise and articulate introduction to ethical decision-making from the perspective of key ethical traditions. First and foremost, this is a teaching text, written to provide structure and meaning to conversations about difficult moral choices. It is also an insightful guide and starting point for addressing questions of values, virtue, and moral obligation. Keith A. Evans, Head of School, Collegiate School, Richmond, Virginia

Confessions of a Lapsed Skeptic, 2nd Edition

Acknowledging the Mystery and Manner of God

By: Todd H. Speidell

Confessions of a Lapsed Skeptic is therapeutic in the best sense: it rehabilitates bad theological vision! Dr. Speidell's little text takes a major step in helping us overcome the narcissism that burdens contemporary religious life and theology. I plan to give this book to seminarians beginning their education and to church leaders engaged in educating laity. Both groups will greatly benefit from Speidell's wisdom. Willie James Jennings, Academic Dean Duke Divinity School, Durham, North Carolina Exploring literature, film, case study material, and philosophical and religious texts, Confessions of a Lapsed Skeptic makes the fundamental questions of humanity's relationship to God accessible to skeptics and believers alike. Todd Speidell's approach is refreshing and authentic, challenging both the heart and the intellect to probe beyond simple answers to the mystery of faith. Confessions is a rich source of stimulating ideas, perfectly suited for both the seminar and the nightstand. Keith A. Evans, Head of School Collegiate School, Richmond, Virginia Confessions Of a Lapsed Skeptic provides thought-provoking reading, even for a confessed skeptic like myself, about the human struggle for an understanding of the nature of God. By using case studies from wide-ranging sources, such as Woody Allen and C. S. Lewis, Todd Speidell manages to make this difficult and potentially abstract topic very concrete and relevant. You cannot read this book without all the time feeling wonderfully engaged in virtual discussions with the author about the wisdom that can be deduced from the case studies. Confessions deserves to be read and discussed by everybody trying to understand their position on the Big Questions in life. Soren P. Sorensen, Professor and Head Department of Physics, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee Using a Kierkegaardian scalpel to expose the passion of the faith that underlies skepticism and Woody Allen's perceptive humor to reveal the irony of belief in an underachieving God, Todd Speidell depicts the plausibility of a faith that, although unprovable, remains compellingly true. 'The human heart can go the lengths of God, ' writes the English playwright Christopher Fry. 'Affairs are now soul-size. The enterprise is exploration into God.' This little book is 'soul-size.' It sketches the contours of the human quest for God by using the artist's palette of philosophy, literature and theology with creative insight and lucid prose. Ray S. Anderson, Prof. of Theology and Ministry Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, Californi

On Hearing the Truth

An Epistemology of the Ear in a Postmodern World

By: Todd H. Speidell

Dr. Speidell is a creative teacher who has written an imaginative book for teaching philosophy. In a contemporary idiom, the book raises classic and foundational questions: What do we really know? How do we find truth? Are values and knowledge simply relative to our culture and experience? The book's dialogic format, which considers these questions from the perspective of a new college student listening to professors in debate, is sure to engage students. The author's plea for listening as the path to learning is much needed these days."*Dr. Brian Stiltner, Chair of Philosophy and Religious Studies, Sacred Heart University, Fairfield, Connecticut
