The purpose of this book is to formulate a way of thinking about
issues of power, moral identity, and ethical norms by developing a
theory of responsibility from a specifically theological viewpoint;
the author thereby makes clear the significance for Christian
commitment of current reflection on moral responsibility. The
concept of responsibility is relatively new in ethics, but the
drastic extension of human power through various technological
developments has lately thrown into question the way human beings
conceive of themselves as morally accountable agents. It is this
radical extension of power in our time which poses the need for a
new paradigm of responsibility in ethics. Schweiker engages in an
informed way with what is therefore a highly topical discussion. By
developing a coherent theory of responsibility, and inquiring as to
its source, the author demonstrates the unique contribution of
Christian faith to ethics in our time.
