ABSTRACT
What this book is trying to develop is a coherently theological account of whether Christians can resolve ethical disputes with their non-Christian neighbours in the contemporary context. To do this I have been assessing whether MacIntyre can provide such an account or even a generic framework within which such an account can be developed. A central issue of contention is the depth of difference between Christians’ and non-Christians’ ethical thought and action. This chapter aims to assess whether a theologically grounded account of ethics, as given by Oliver O’Donovan, calls into question the adequacy of MacIntyre’s proposals for overcoming the incommensurability between Christians and non-Christian moral judgements.
