Description
"Timothy O'Connell has done a great service in providing a popular textbook in contemporary moral theology. This is the first textbook written in the United States which strives to incorporate the recent developments in moral theology. . . . All engaged in pastoral ministry will profit from this clear and systematic presentation." - Charles E Curran, The Catholic University of America
"Principles for a Catholic Morality is instructive, challenging and inspiring. The style is marked by clarity of expression, insightful distinctions, sometimes surprising relationships between one reality and another, and the ability to bring together the achievement of yesterday and the hope of tomorrow. I welcome this volume as one of the encouraging signs that a new generation of moral theologians, following one Master, in the company of competent guides, has come of age." - Agnes Cunningham, SSCM, St. Mary of the Lake Seminary
"This clearly written summary of current moral theology includes some original advances on contemporary thought. Such a complete survey has not, until now, existed in English. This book fills the need for a good balanced text for an introductory course in moral theology, and will be found useful by clergy and religious educators as well as seminarians and college students." - John F Dedek, The Catholic University of America
"Timothy O'Connell's Principles are precisely what seminarians - or any reader interested in moral theology - really need at this time: an appropriate synthesis of what moral theology today is able to give, beyond the traditional manuals and according to the recent studies and insights of the best moral theologians in the world. He does it in a clear language, in a wise self-limitation, and in a way in which the principles of moral theology will enlighten Christians today." - Josef Fuchs, Gregorian University, Rome
