This book has two objectives, one explicit and one implicit. The explicit objective is to explore the normative implications for both general and sexual ethics of the methodological and anthropological developments in Catholic tradition. The implicit objective is to stimulate dialogue in the Church about ethics, particularly sexual ethics, a dialogue that must necessarily include all in the communion-Church, laity, theologians, and hierarchy. Since we believe that genuine and respectful dialogue about sexual morality is sorely needed to clarify Christian truth today, we intend this book to be part of that genuine dialogue.
This book offers an excellent summary of the current state of catholic theological ethics.... L. and S. have clearly reignited the discussion in catholic theological ethics. Producing monographs together is a testimony to the authors' ability to dialogue. The dialogical aim of this book is well reflected in the style and language which make the publication exceptionally accessible, even if the themes the authors consider are complex and contested but absolutely foundational for normative ethics.
