Reading Karl Barth, Interrupting Moral Technique, Transforming Biomedical Ethics cover

This volume proposes a move away from the universalized and general modern ethical method, as it is currently practiced in biomedical ethics, while aiming toward a decision making process rooted in an ontology of relationality. Moyse uses the theological ethics of Karl Barth, in conversation with a range of thinkers, to achieve this turn.

“The book demonstrates careful research, detailed argumentation, and creative connections between various fields. … Overall, I think Moyse succeeds in what he sets out to do. … his work adeptly connects theology and bioethics in surprising and helpful ways. … Moyse does an excellent job of showing how theology can interrupt and potentially transform bioethics in a way that refuses to retreat into abstractions and instead meets individual patients where they are: in the heat of crisis.” (Jacob Shatzer, Ethics & Medicine, Vol. 33 (1), 2017)
