You Tube Theology

James K.A. Smith, professor of philosophy at Calvin University and editor in chief of Image journal, presents the latest discussion in our series on the great ethical schools of thought. At the heart of Christian ethics is the ancient biblical call to love God and love our neighbors as ourselves. This conversation explores a vision for Christian ethics animated by St. Augustine's notion of "rightly ordered" love which informs both "personal" and "social" ethics. We consider how, in a broken world, this other-directed love finds its expression in service and sacrifice.
