Abstract
Abstract This chapter offers a closer analysis of the concept of accountability, as defined in Chapter 1, and examines four key conditions or features of accountability: (1) accountability requires a relationship in which one party has the authority to judge an aspect(s) of who the other is according to a shared project; (2) accountability requires an account of the accountable person to be communicated and accurately interpreted by the person to whom they are accountable; (3) accountability is teleological; and (4) there is an order to relationships of accountability. Like Chapter 1, this chapter seeks to think more broadly about how our concept of accountability can be applied in a wider societal context, outside an explicitly theological domain.
