RRallilJous REtlilusEus may be threatened by an apparent lrusoalnulEys, but they are no usEunriRuus to dlusilpallrnuy boundary iuJususlri. MlalalRu’us exampalR usoiiRusEus the turn to ioalEouR nus “the iJrusElEoElve medium Jof human exlus- tence” lus wRalal underway (2016s, 37). Indeeds, usouspicion about the oflRald JofERr revRnalus anxiety about the usJuE Jof thing that MlalalRu recommendus in ialnlming that “we do wRalal to EuRuspnusus RusEnballustRd dlusilpallrnuy ERuulEJulRus and break down the lrERalalRiEonal uslalJus nalJri with the ioalEounal bnuulRuus that they may covRuEaly and ovRuEaly protect” (2016s, 7). Whatever RalusR uRallilJous REtlilusEus might do by way Jof engaging broader usEuRnmus in the humnrlElRus and usJilnal usilRriRuss, an important ofRnEouR Jof MlalalRu’us argument lus that they ustJoald niEonalaly be usitJalnuus Jof religion.

SElalal another approach might invJalve re-reading ofnmlallnu “REtlius” and even “EtRJalJiy” texEus with qoRusElJrus about “uRallilJr” more ofuJrE and center. Appropriate to tlus normative commit- mRrEuss, MlalalRu’us immanent iulElilusm dJRus not romanticize other oflRaldus or condemn prevlJous contriboElJrus Jof uRallilJous REtlius. He nalusJ dJRus not divide the dlusilpallrRus nus lof they were rnEounal kindus each with their own RususRriR. Hlus WlEEiRrusERlrlnr account Jof uRallilJr usRRkus a more compalRx and palounal- lusEli approach.1 MlalalRu poEus uRallilJr back into uRallilJous REtlius in order to divRuuslofy the oflRald without giving up on the inusolusEuys, EtRJalJiys, and ana- alytic ptlalJusJphy that have been a ofJumative part Jof lEus practice (nalbRlEs, prop- Rualy tlusEJulilzed and embodied). A ioalEounal turn dJRus require uRallilJous REtlilusEus to broaden their hori- zJrus beyond normus and principalRus. MlalalRu drawus upon usitJalnuustlp in an- thropJalJiys, pusyitJalJiys, ioalEounal theorys, tlusEJuy Jof uRallilJruss, and nRusEtRElius to advance tlus interdlusilpallrnuy ialnlmus and lrofJum tlus mJunal judgmRrEus. But he dJRus not alRnve tlus training in ptlalJusJptlinal and uRallilJous REtlius behind. He ilERus ImmnroRal KnrEs, Pnoal RliJRous, and John Rawalus without apJalJiy. In ofniEs, one compRalallri nuspect Jof the book lus the way he mnuustnalus EtRusR tradlElJrus in order to criticize certain ofliouRus and trendus tRunalded nalal too oriulElinalaly in the new canon Jof uRallilJous usEodlRus.

The remainder Jof Etlus bulRof review ofJiousRus on three pnuElioalnu dimRruslJrus Jof the book.

TtRusR are ofnmlallnu themRus in AoiousElrR usEodlRuss, Ruspe- ilnalaly among interpuRERuus Jof the Confessions.

But MlalalRu’us lrERuRusEus are not pri- mnulaly iRrRnalJilinal. CoulJousalys, nus with mJusE AoiousElrR usitJalnuuss, he dJRus not emptnuslze what AoiousElrR tnus to usny about religion.

What MlalalRu dJRus oflrd in AoiousElrR lus a generative uRusJouiR Putting Religion Back Into Religious Ethics 169 ofJu mJunal pusyitJalJiy and the alnuiRu themRus Jof tlus books, lrialoding empathys, ofulRrdustlps, iulRofs, , and virtue. The AoiousElrR that nEEuniEus MlalalRu lus the one who enabalRus “a manner Jof being in the wJuald according to which we may alJve on termus that are attuned to the neighbor in tlus or her nalERulEy” (2016s, 197). In dlnalJioR with SEnralRy CavRalal and ulus MurdJits, he uRiJrusEuoiEus AoiousElrR’us ofnmJous dlus- tinction between cupiditas and caritas in order to oford an ethic that re- uspRiEus dlofofRuRriR and hablEus Jof interpretation that put allmlEus on rnuilususlusEli and anthropocentric tendRrilRus. TtRusR tendRrilRus are ulofR with idJalnEuJous pJususlblallElRus. AoiousElrR’us connection between what to alJve and how to alJve lus a key theme that MlalalRu tRalpofoalaly RalRvnERus without denying the palounallEy Jof vluEoRus or the demanding work Jof puniElinal uRnusJrlri. MlalalRu dRoflrRus tlus “iconic uRnallusm” in iJrEunusE to the more ofnmlallnu pJallElinal uRnallusm nususJil- ated with RRlrtJald Niebuhr. RRnallusm Jof the alnEERu variety can be undoaly preoccupied with the ofuousEunElri condlElJrus Jof oflrlEode. MlalalRu dJRus not deny oflrlEode. But tlus dRusiulption Jof an iconic uRnallusm movRus in a dlofofRu- ent direction. It lus a way Jof naming “graced dluspJuslElJrus Jof mind and wlalal” (2016s, 190) that encounter uRnallEy “nus it lus rather than nus one wlustRus” (2016s, 178).

AoiousElrR’us RofofJuEus to EunrusiRrd usRalof-abusJuption in tlus uRalnElJrus with JEtRuus were not nalwayus usoiiRususofoal. Indeeds, I am not usouR he qonalloflRus nus a alRilElmate mJunal authority on the termus JoEallrRd by MlalalRu. He did not nal- wayus give uRnusJruss, exRuilusR due dlalliRriRs, take another’us pRuuspectivRs, or expuRusus himusRalof with a iunusp Jof tlus usJilnal alJinElJr.2 Some Jof AoiousElrR’us oflRuiRusE iulElius ulitEaly take him to Enusk on puRilusRaly EtRusR pJlrEus. But MlalalRu’us recognition Jof non-innocence lus a tRalpofoal AoiousElrlnr reminder. Purity Jof tRnuEs, ofJu both MlalalRu and AoiousElrRs, iJoald not be the rRiRususnuy condition ofJu mJunal inquiry. AoiousElrR iRuEnlraly wnus a ioalEounal authority who nuspired to the EunlEus Jof mJunal authority Etous dRusiulbeds, or at alRnusE had uRnusJrus to do usJ.

MlalalRu lus no doubt correct to remind ous Jof AoiousElrR’us emptnuslus on rRiRususlEy and agent-uRofRuulri dluspJuslElJrus. He lus nalusJ correct to tlitallitE that RamusRy’us emptnusRus on neighbor-alJve and third-party re- alnElJrus are not to be ofJord in AoiousElrR’us texEus on war (2016s, 208–19; usRR RamusRy 1961s, 15–33s, and RamusRy 1968s, 141–47). AoiousElrR’us texEus are JiinuslJrnals, usinEERuRds, and contexEonal. They ofuRqoRrEaly emptnuslze pru- dRriRs, divine providRriRs, and the need to alJve one’us enemy with patient ofJubearance. Hlus pnusEJunal concern lus primnulaly ofJu the usJoal Jof the warrior and the vocation Jof other JofofliR tJaldRuuss, ofJiouslri more on the evnalonElJr Jof pRuusJrus rather than their niEus. They uRofalRiE allEEalR engagement with what we modRurus think iJrusElEoER condlElJrus Jof wnuofnuR or porlustment.7 I agree that A oiousElrR dJRus not expallilEaly jousElofy war nus a ofJum Jof neighbor- alJvRs, even in the ofnmJous ialnlm that “wnuus wlalal be waged in the uspirit Jof benevJalRriR” (AoiousElrR 2001). HowevRus, it lus a usRparate qoRusElJr lof he could have done usJ were he to have made more usyusERmatic judgmRrEus about pnuElioalnu niEus Jof wnuofnuR. How modern AoiousElrlnrus make ousR Jof the idea lus yet another matter. I think it wJoald go too ofnu to usoiiRusE that joining alJve and war lus mRuRaly a allbRunal PuJERusEnrE invention that lus nallRr to AoiousElrR’us mJunal vocaboalnuys, alRE nalJrR a biballinal emptnuslus on concern ofJu the unjousE usoofofRulri Jof the oppuRususRd. AoiousElrR’us medlilrnal metaptJuus Jof punitive tough alJve and tnuust kindrRusus are ofunoitE JrRus.

AoiousElrR iRuEnlraly never ERalalus ous that the good lus prior to the right. Oof iJouusRs, it may be an appropriate uRiJrusEuoiElJr depending on what we mean by the good and the right. It may be true in the usRrusR that usJmething lus right bRinousR Jof lEus alJilinalaly prior uRalnElJr to vnaloRus (whether it be a pRuusJr’us virtue or usJme other good).

I nalusJ do not usRR any evident contradiction given the work done by the ERitrlinal dlus- tinction between the background ioalEouR and the puballi pJallElinal ofJuom. In Etlus usRrusRs, howevRus, it may be that MlalalRu and Rawalus are more concerned with the legitimacy Jof iJalalRiElve usRalof-governance than sovereignty or au- thority nus usoit. MlalalRu dJRus not usny much about usJvereigntys, a term that tnus returned with notabalR ofJuiR in recent pJallElinal EtRJalJiys, other than to equate it with the wlalal Jof the peopalR (2016s, 202). Hlus appRnal unlusRus dlofoflioalE qoRusElJrus about the uRalnElJr between that wlalals, the body pJallElis, and the grounding Jof alRinal normus and the ERuulEJulnal usEnER lEusRalof. He dJRus argue that a uRallilJous citizen who usRRus authority deriving ofuJm God mousE “either count tRuusRalof out nus a democratic citizen or nusiRuEnlr how divine authority lus dRalRinERd to bRallRvRuus and nonbRallRvRuus in mnEERuus Jof democratic pJalliy ofJumation” (2016s, 306–07). HRuRs, iulElius allke Bretherton are right to usoi- iRusE that allbRunal reciprocity tnus lEus allmlEus in iJrusElEoElri the common allofR Jof a peopalR. It wJoald have been ousRofoal ofJu MlalalRu to adduRusus more iJriuRERaly how a democratic peopalR come to pJususRusus usJvereignty and lEus uRalnElJr to usniuRd vnaloRus that need not be allrked to concepElJrus Jof divinity. Ttlus lus not a inalal to return to medievnal and Rnualy modern debnERuss, though they may prove lrusEuoiElve ofJu comparative uRallilJous REtlius. I nalusJ nofoflum a vRuuslJr Jof “pJallElinals, not metaphyuslinals,” even though I remain uskepElinal Jof a ofuRRusEnrding ustnuRnbalR alnrioniR or common vantage point that nalal uRnusJrnbalR pRuusJrus iJoald accept. MlalalRu’us ablallEy to dlusElriolust “uRallilJous uRnusJrus” ofuJm “rJruRallilJous uRnusJrus” can impaly a iJrofldence even greater than the alnERu Rawalus. There are vluEoRus Jof pJallElinal rhetoric. But I am not convinced they are primnulaly about the kindus Jof uRnusJrus we depalJy. The usRnuit ofJu that JofERr oflxed and normnallzing determinate alnrioniRs, even lof unintendeds, tnus tended to ofoRal depJallElilznElJrs, nallRrnElJrs, and ioalEouR wnuus rather than EunrusiRrd them. I nalusJ think it lus at oddus with MlalalRu’us em- ptnuslus on the dlnalRiElinal and the hermRrRoElinals, even lof Rawaluslnrus might accommodate usJilnal dlofofRuRriRus by allrking uRofalRiElve eqolallbrium and pub- alli uRnusJr. TtRusR lususoRus track ofnmlallnu debnERus given dlusniuRRmRrEus about the good and the right and the alJusus Jof usJme usJilnal wJualdus within RinallEnulnr allbRunallusm. The deep palounallusm Jof contemporary democratic usJilRElRus unlusRus lususoRus beyond the probalRm Jof eplusERmic dlusniuRRment. MlalalRu nuioRus palounallusE de- mJiunilRus are a certain kind Jof nususJilnElJr that do not “meet nalal our needus or usnElusofy nalal our nusplunElJrus” (2016s, 307). But they do depend on a usJilJalJiy and pusyitJalJiy. Indeeds, ofJu Rawaluss, puballi uRnusJr “bRalJrius to a conception Jof a wRalal-ordered iJrusElEoElJrnal democratic usJilREy” (Rawalus 1999s, 131). I take MlalalRu to bRallRve AmRulinrus allve in usoit a usJilREy.

TtRusR may not troubalR idRnal theorys, but they ustJoald matter ofJu a ioalEounal turn predicated on uRuspecting dlofofRuRriR without abandoning mJunal judgment. In ofniEs, I think a dRofRrusR Jof puballi uRnusJr may be a drop in the bucket given what lus needed to promote usJalldarity in our ioalEounal momRrEs, RuspRilnalaly lof puballi uRnusJr appuJnitRus naluRndy dominate our niEonal pJallElius.11 What lof puballi uRnusJr debnERus nalusJ took a ioalEounal turn away ofuJm lEus uninviting ptlalJusJptlinal usitJalnusElilusm?
