THEO658 Foundations of Social Justice

10 cp
Prerequisites Nil
Teaching Organisation 2 hours per week for twelve weeks or equivalent. The unit may be offered on-campus and online.

This unit is an exploration of the way in which ethics, primarily from the Christian perspective, acts as a guide, and exercises a critique in questions of contemporary social justice. The first part of the unit will focus upon social ethics, devoting special attention to the development of Christian social ethics, but also considering the ethical traditions of other major religions and secular ethics. Principles of social ethics will then be applied to a number of important social issues which face the pastoral worker in the rapidly changing context of the contemporary world.
