A breakthrough in the theology of parenthood, integrating Catholic
social thought and social scientific studies of child well-being in
order to offer a more diverse and inclusive interpretation The
Catholic Church has a long and diverse history of tolerating
various child-rearing arrangements. The dominant Catholic framework
for conceptualizing parenthood, however, is highly influenced by
concerns over sexual ethics and gender norms. While sexual and
reproductive ethics are important, the present consensus that
theological consideration of parenthood necessarily hinges on these
matters diverts attention from actual parenting practices in their
social and cultural contexts. In reality, kinship and caregiving
are often negotiated in complex ways. In Beyond Biology, Jacob M.
Kohlhaas uses a historical and interdisciplinary theological method
that engages both analytically and appreciatively with tradition to
sketch a broader Catholic anthropology of parenthood. Kohlhaas's
identification of interpretive options within the Catholic
tradition creates room for meaningful, intellectually convincing,
and theologically rich responses to challenges facing Catholic
parents and families today. By marshaling the diversity of the
Christian tradition and exploring contemporary research in the
social sciences and humanities, Kohlhaas frames a theological
conversation on parenthood as parenthood-considering the needs and
well-being of children as well as the potentials and capabilities
of adult caregivers. In his discussion, Kohlhaas considers adoption
and nonbiological parenthood, fathers as primary caregivers and
nurturers, caregiving by siblings and grandparents, and communal
parenting and coparenting beyond the spousal pair. In Kohlhaas's
view, conceptions of parenthood should be guided by the meaning of
Christian kinship rooted in baptism as well as concern for the
actual caregiving capacities of adults and the needs of children.

Die Einschatzungen zur wirtschaftlichen Bewertung von
Klimaschutzmassnahmen, insbesondere zur Steigerung der
Energieeffizienz, sind sehr widerspruchlich. Dieses Buch erlautert
anhand von Zahlenmaterial die analytischen Hintergrunde und ist
auch fur Nicht-Okonomen verstandlich geschrieben. Die Autoren
kommen zu dem Schluss, dass in vielen Bereichen rentable
Energiesparpotentiale nicht erkannt und umgesetzt werden. Sie
zeigen, dass bei der Verfolgung von Klimaschutzzielen und der
Vorbeugung gegen Klimaschaden uber erheblichen Gestaltungspielraum
verfugt. Mit der Entflechtung verschiedener Diskussionsebenen und
dem Aufzeigen der Quellen fur Fehlinterpretationen von
Studienergebnissen leistet das Buch einen wichtigen Beitrag zur
Versachlichung der Klimaschutzdiskussion."
