It would seem that theology cannot continue to maintain its transcendent position as the centre of traditional values in today's world. So, what is the role of theology in Contemporary society? This essay explores this question through the Christian social thoughts of Ronald H. Preston and Michael Novak. First, it uses social Christianity and Christian conservatism, through Preston and Novak respectively, to explore the relationship between Christian social ethics and capitalism. Then, while contrasting and comparing these two perspectives. radical orthodoxy will be introduced as a third party to further review their works. Finally, the experience of Presbyterianism in Taiwan, that country's biggest church, will be used to examine, and reflect on. these theological theories. |
