Excerpt from Early Christian Ethics in the West: From Clement to Ambrose While pursuing a course of study in the history of Christian Ethics I soon made the discovery that much of the land remained still unoccupied, and the hope arose within me that perhaps I might make some part of it my own. This small volume represents the result of my first labours to collect and arrange the ethical thoughts of the early Church writers. If time and other things permit, I hope at some future date to resume the inquiry and deal with the ethics of writers in the Eastern half of the Empire. The friendly criticism which this little book may evoke, together with the experience of the lecture room, will, I hope, make me a little better qualified for any subsequent work; but in the present dearth of full and satisfactory histories of Christian Ethics I have thought it right to make public this imperfect attempt to partially fill a conspicuous blank.

Excerpt from Early Christian Ethics in the West: From Clement to Ambrose IT is the object of this treatise to give some account of the history of Christian Ethics in the West from the close of the Apostolic Age to the death of Ambrose in the year 397 a.d. That period of three hundred years presents many fascinating problems to the student of Christian thought, but there is none Of them which is at once so fruitful and so little exhausted, as the first presentation and development of Christian ethical re flection after its liberation from apostolic guidance, and on gracco-roman soil. In spite of the importance Of the subject, and the many learned and successful attempts to deal with different aspects Of this many sided question, it has not yet been worked With the same fulness and thoroughness as the closely-related field of Christian doctrine.

This provocative work provides a radical reassessment of the emergence and nature of Christian sexual morality, the dominant moral paradigm in Western society since late antiquity. While many scholars, including Michel Foucault, have found the basis of early Christian sexual restrictions in Greek ethics and political philosophy, Kathy L. Gaca demonstrates on compelling new grounds that it is misguided to regard Greek ethics and political theory—with their proposed reforms of eroticism, the family, and civic order—as the foundation of Christian sexual austerity. Rather, in this thoroughly informed and wide-ranging study, Gaca shows that early Christian goals to eradicate fornication were derived from the sexual rules and poetic norms of the Septuagint, or Greek Bible, and that early Christian writers adapted these rules and norms in ways that reveal fascinating insights into the distinctive and largely non-philosophical character of Christian sexual morality. Writing with an authoritative command of both Greek philosophy and early Christian writings, Gaca investigates Plato, the Stoics, the Pythagoreans, Philo of Alexandria, the apostle Paul, and the patristic Christians Clement of Alexandria, Tatian, and Epiphanes, freshly elucidating their ideas on sexual reform with precision, depth, and originality. Early Christian writers, she demonstrates, transformed all that they borrowed from Greek ethics and political philosophy to launch innovative programs against fornication that were inimical to Greek cultural mores, popular and philosophical alike. The Septuagint's mandate to worship the Lord alone among all gods led to a Christian program to revolutionize Gentile sexual practices, only for early Christians to find this virtually impossible to carry out without going to extremes of sexual renunciation. Knowledgeable and wide-ranging, this work of intellectual history and ethics cogently demonstrates why early Christian sexual restrictions took such repressive ascetic forms, and casts sobering light on what Christian sexual morality has meant for religious pluralism in Western culture, especially among women as its bearers.

Don Cupitt proposes a reinterpretation of Christian history, arguing that the meaning of the West is not Catholic Christian, but radical Christian. The original Jesus was a secular figure, a utopian teacher of ethical wisdom. He argues that the core of Western culture is simply the old Christian spirituality extraverted. Today, Christian supernatural doctrine is dead, but the secular 'West' is Christianity itself is now emerging in its final, 'Kingdom' form.
