Christian ethics as witness Barth's ethics for a world at risk

Christian ethics is less a system of principles, rules, or even virtues, and more of a free and open-ended responsible witness to God's gracious action to be with and for others and the world. Postmodernity has left us with the risky uncertainty of knowing and doing the good.

How should Christians respond to these problems? Haddorf creatively explores how Christian ethics is best understood as a witness to God's actio.
