Books by William (University of Chicago) Schweiker

Current ethics is confronted by the drastic extension of human power through technological development. This radical extension of power demands a new paradigm of responsibility in ethics. By developing a coherent theory of responsibility, Schweiker shows the unique contribution of Christian faith to ethics in our time.

Tackles various perspectives on debates about distinctly Christian ethics. This title argues that we need to reframe the arena in which moral questions are asked. It engages a range of positions, exploring modern issues such as moral and cultural relativism, globalization, problems of consumption and violence, and religious pluralism.
