Value and Vulnerability brings together scholars of many religions-including Catholicism, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Protestantism, Islam, and Humanism-to identify and examine conceptions and interpretations of dignity within different religious and philosophical perspectives and their applications to contemporary issues of conflict, such as gendered, religious, and racial violence, immigration, ecology, and religious peacemaking.

"Though often referenced in connection with legal, theological, and human rights issues, human dignity remains a vague concept at best, varying according to its interpreters. In the present collection Petrusek and Rothchild seek to clarify different beliefs and issues related to the understanding of dignity. . . . Providing an excellent analysis, this collection will be a wonderful addition to the literature on ethics, philosophy of religion, and theology and contemporary social issues." —Choice

"The collection is a wellspring of traditional, conceptual, practical, and innovative resources able to advance the effectiveness of dignity as the fundamental platform for vulnerably engaging in mutual recognition wherein we discover in the other what makes us capable of solidarity in the ongoing agenda of becoming more evidently human." —Theological Studies
