Beskrivning

The Accountable Animal: Justice, Justification, and Judgement offers a theological meditation on the human being as an accountable animal. Brendan Case introduces the idea of accountability, not merely as a structural feature of human institutions, but as a disposition to submit to rightly-constituted authority, whether divine or human. He relates this conception of accountability to the key themes of "justice, justification, and judgment".

Recensioner i media

With The Accountable Animal Brendan Case offers a thoughtful, incisive and helpful exercise in constructive theology. Case builds an account of what it means for human beings to be accountable to – in a certain way to be just before – each other and God. The book is very well and widely researched, well-orderedand eloquently written.
