Christian ethics is less a system of principles, rules, or even
virtues, and more of a free and open-ended responsible witness to
God's gracious action to be with and for others and the world.
Postmodernity has left us with the risky uncertainty of knowing and
doing the good. It also leaves us with the global risks of
political violence and terrorism, economic globalization and
financial crisis, and environmental destruction and global climate
change. How should Christians respond to these problems? This book
creatively explores how Christian ethics is best understood as a
witness to God's action, thereby providing the ethical framework
for addressing the various problematic social issues that put our
world at risk. Haddorff develops the notion of witness through a
detailed study of Karl Barth's theological ethics. Barth, he
argues, provides a language enabling us to know what a Christian
ethics of witness actually looks like in both theory and in
practice. In correspondence to God's gracious action, Christians
remain free to think and act in faith, hope, and love in
respondence to their unique circumstances, even in a world at risk.
In their witness, Christians remain confident that God has not
abandoned the world but loves and cares for its future.
