The Accountable Animal: Justice, Justification, and Judgment Summary

The Accountable Animal: Justice, Justification, and Judgment by Dr Brendan Case

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.

The Accountable Animal: Justice, Justification, and Judgment Reviews

Case's argument here is not only extremely well made, and more than compelling, but something of a model for how a philosophical theologian should go about concentrating on a single question and pursuing the correct answer along every possible logical and hermeneutical path. -- David Bentley Hart, Former Fellow, Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study, USA
Beautifully written, profoundly engaging, and theologically sophisticated, The Accountable Animal is a joy to read. Throughout, a penetrating argument is constructed for why accountability defines what it means to be human. Giving fresh attention to this neglected topic, Case offers a groundbreaking contribution not only to theological anthropology and ethics but to theology as a whole. -- Dr Andrew Torrance, Senior Lecturer in Theology, University of St. Andrews, UK
Brendan Case's The Accountable Animal is a richly suggestive, genuine work of theology, combining speculative verve and thoughtful engagement with Scripture. -- Nathan Eubank, Associate Professor of New Testament, University of Notre Dame, USA
