Kucheman, Clark, ed. The Life of Choice: Some Liberal Religious Perspectives on Morality. Boston: Beacon Press, 1978.
Abstract
The question of how human beings
ought to live and act never receives a final and definitive answer
within liberal religion. Because this question must be asked and
answered again and again by each generation of religious liberals, the
essays included in The
Life of Choice are devoted to this continuing purpose. The
authors, all of whom are members of the Collegium: an Association for
Liberal Religious Studies, take liberal religion's critical method as
their point of departure and proceed to argue for different views of
how the human life of choice ought to be lived. These views do not
agree. Nor should agreement be expected, given liberal religion's
stress upon free and independent thinking. The authors intend not to
prescribe but to stimulate free and independent thinking about the life
of choice. They will be successful if they prompt their readers to ask
and answer for themselves the question of how human beings ought to
live and act.
