The Paradox of Disability Responses to Jean Vanier and L’Arche Communities from Theology and the Sciences Hans S. Reinders, editor The village of Trosly-Breuil in northern France is home to one of the world’s thirty-four L’Arche communities, where people with and without intellectual disabilities live and work together. In 2007 the impressive group of social scientists and theologians who contribute to this book gathered there to respond to a question posed by the worldwide community’s cofounder, Jean Vanier: “What have people with disabilities taught me?” Editor Hans Reinders emphasizes that the purpose of these analyses and reflections is not to set those with disabilities apart. He explains that it is not their being disabled that makes them special, but rather that sharing their experience enables us to see things that we other wise readily ignore — and to understand the fullness of what it means to be human. Hans S. Reinders is the Bernard Lievegoed Professor of Ethics and Mental Disability at the Free University of Amsterdam. He is also the author of Receiving the Gift of Friendship: Profound Disability, Theological Anthropology, and Ethics. Ethics • Theology August / 978-0-8028-6511-3 6″ × 9″ paperback 192 pages / $18.00 [£11.99] Christology and Ethics F. LeRon Shults and Brent Waters, editors This book brings together leading theologians and ethicists to explore the neglected relationship between Christology and ethics. The contributors to this volume work to overcome the tendency toward disciplinary xenophobia, considering such questions as What is the relation between faithful teaching about the reality of Christ and teaching faithfulness to the way of Christ? and How is christological doctrine related to theological judgments about normative human agency? With renewed attention and creative reformulation, they argue, we can discover fresh ways of tending to these perennial questions. Contributors: Jan-Olav Henriksen, Lois Malcolm, F. LeRon Shults, Kathryn Tanner, J. Wentzel van Huyssteen, Bernd Wannenwetsch, Brent Waters, John Webster. F. LeRon Shults is professor of theology and philosophy at the University of Agder, Kristiansand, Norway.

Religion & Science August / 978-0-8028-6512-0 6″ × 9″ paperback 232 pages / $30.00 [£19.99] Emory University Studies in Law and Religion John Witte Jr., series editor Ministers of the Law A Natural Law Theory of Legal Authority Jean Porter In Ministers of the Law Jean Porter articulates a theory of legal authority derived from the natural law tradition. As she points out, the legal authority of most traditions rests on their own internal structures, independent of extralegal considerations. Natural law tradition, on the other hand, offers a basis for legal authority that goes beyond mere arbitrary commands or social conventions, offering some extralegal authority without compromising the independence and integrity of the law. Yet Porter does more in this volume than simply discuss historical and theoretical realms of natural law. She carries the theory into application to contemporary legal issues, bringing objective normative structures to contemporary Western societies suspicious of such concepts. Jean Porter is John A. O’Brien Professor of Theology at the University of Notre Dame. Her other books include Natural and Divine Law and Nature as Reason.
