Moral Conversion in Scripture, Self, and Society (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783111446950)

Moral Conversion in Scripture, Self, and Society offers a broad - historical, theological, and philosophical - reflection on the phenomenon of moral conversion. Examining life-changing transformations within trajectories of spiritual and moral growth, the contributors to this volume show how individuals move, or should move, in one way or another, away from the pursuit of solipsistic satisfactions, through the practice of self-awareness and the performance of social attentiveness, toward the prioritization of shared values. Together, they address the difficulty of realizing in selves and societies some sort of definitive moral conversion - of final turn toward the truly good.
