Value and Vulnerability brings together scholars of many
religions-including Catholicism, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism,
Eastern Orthodoxy, Protestantism, Islam, and Humanism-to identify
and examine conceptions and interpretations of dignity within
different religious and philosophical perspectives and their
applications to contemporary issues of conflict, such as gendered,
religious, and racial violence, immigration, ecology, and religious
peacemaking. Value and Vulnerability also includes response
chapters that clarify and refine these interpretations from
interfaith perspectives. Through this volume, Matthew R. Petrusek
and Jonathan Rothchild offer recommendations for advancing the
conversation about dignity within and among traditions and for
addressing urgent global issues and threats to dignity. Together,
Petrusek, Rothchild, and the contributors create a comparative
framework constituted by seven questions: What sources justify
dignity's existence, nature, and purpose? What is the relationship
between the divine and human dignity? What is the relationship
between dignity and the human body? Is dignity vulnerable or
invulnerable to moral harm? Is dignity inherent or attained? Is
dignity universal and equal? Is dignity practical? Through its
systematic, comparative, interdisciplinary, and practical
dimensions, Value and Vulnerability fills in the gaps in
contemporary theological, philosophical, and ethical discourses on
dignity. Contributors: Matthew R. Petrusek, Jonathan Rothchild,
Darlene Fozard Weaver, Kristin Scheible, Karen B. Enriquez, Elliot
N. Dorff, Daniel Nevins, Christopher Key Chapple, David P. Gushee,
Aristotle Papanikolaou, Zeki Saritoprak, William Schweiker, Hille
Haker, Nicholas Denysenko, Terrence L. Johnson, William O'Neill,
Victor Carmona, Dawn Nothwehr, OSF, and Ellen Ott Marshall.
