"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-ordered and eloquently written." -- International Journal of Systematic Theology "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.
