Conference volume Moral Conversion in Scripture, Self, and Society published
In the Summer of 2022 the Thomas Instituut organized together with the Franciscan Study Center at Tilburg University the conference ’Agents of Change: Moral Conversion and Social Transformation’.
The conference volume entitled Moral Conversion in Scripture, Self, and Society has now been published by De Gruyter with Krijn Pansters and Anton ten Klooster as editors.
Moral Conversion in Scripture, Self, and Society offers a broad – historical, theological, and philosophical – reflection on the phenomenon of moral conversion. Examining life-changing transformations within trajectories of spiritual and moral growth, the contributors to this volume show how individuals move, or should move, in one way or another, away from the pursuit of solipsistic satisfactions, through the practice of self-awareness and the performance of social attentiveness, toward the prioritization of shared values. Together, they address the difficulty of realizing in selves and societies some sort of definitive moral conversion – of final turn toward the truly good.
Contributors are: David Couturier, Matthew Dugandzic, Erik Eynikel, Aaron Gies, Patrick Jones, Angela Knobel, Daniel Lightsey, Peter Lovas, Giulia Lovison, Krijn Pansters, Hanna Roose, Anton ten Klooster, Willem Marie Speelman, Mark Therrien, Luke Togni, Brian Treanor, Louke van Wensveen, Archibald van Wieringen, and Jamie Washam.
