"Tomorrow's Troubles provides the careful ethical analysis we need to make sense of the dilemmas we face in our everyday lives today. As epitomized in the global pandemic, a probabilistic pursuit of risk minimization has effectively become the default criterion for both social deliberation and personal moral evaluation, yet few have interrogated the ethical implications of this trend. In Tomorrow's Troubles, Paul Scherz not only tackles these critical questions but also develops the theological and ethical tools to help us put the assessment of risk into its proper place, at the service of a genuine practice of prudential judgment."?Conor M. Kelly, associate professor of theology, Marquette University"Tomorrow's Troubles is a prophetic work calling readers to reevaluate the entire sociotechnical world. Technology, risk management, culture, and our mentality have distorted our core Christian commitments such as trust in God's providence and love for our neighbor. I'll be thinking about this book for a long time."?Brian Patrick Green, director of technology ethics, Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, Santa Clara University
"[T]his is a book that fully merits careful reading and consideration. It succeeds in doing what too few books on applied theology do, in that it draws deeply both on theology and on the particular issue to produce a new way of thinking about the issue and responding practically."?THEOLOGY
"This book will be helpful to theologians, ethicists, pastors, and educated laypeople with a strong background in at least one of the traditions Scherz draws on: Thomism, pre-Christian Greco-Roman philosophy (especially Stoicism), and mid-20th-century Protestant ethics of responsibility (e.g., H. Richard Niebuhr, Dietrich Bonhoeffer)."?Journal of the Society of Christian Ethics
"[A]s a guide to life on an individual level, Scherz's paradigm has much to offer."?Law and Liberty
