About this product
Product Information
Surveys the historical development of Catholic moral theology in the United States from its 19th century roots. This book traces the development of pre-Vatican II moral theology that, with the exception of social ethics, had the limited purpose of training future confessors to know what actions are sinful and the degree of sinfulness.

"Published in the well-known Moral Traditions series, this is an excellent book on the recent history of Catholic moral theology in the United States.... This is a highly readable account, written by an expert, and is suitable for undergraduates and the general reader." -- Theological Book Review, "This volume needs to be in every university and college library. Nothing compares to the breadth and depth of this historical study of United States moral theology. Any who teach in the discipline of theology need to read the book, even if their specialty is not moral theology." -- Horizons, "The book is to be commended for the thorough way in which it covers, or at least mentions, almost every significant writer in Catholic moral theology during this period.... [This] book would serve well in introductory undergraduate and graduate courses on Catholic moral theology and the history of American Catholicism." -- Church History, "This book and Curran's work generously deserve the attention of all those Catholics who believe that history matters, and that the church finds its mission in that essential framework given its best expression in Vatican II's 'Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World.' As many have turned away from the promise of the council, Curran has done as much as any American Catholic to keep hope alive." -- National Catholic Reporter, "The sheer breadth of this historical survey of Catholic moral theology in the United States would be daunting to any theologian except Curran, whose synthetic mind and critical grasp of the discipline make possible a succinct analysis of key figures as well as newer scholars." -- Religious Studies Review, "An informative narrative of the development of the discipline here in the United States. Once again, Curran adds a valuable volume to the already long list of contributions he has made to Catholic theology." -- Kenneth R. Himes, "This volume deserves serious consideration for any student of theology because it is threaded through with thought-provoking comments... Ultimately the great merit of this significant and fascinating book is to draw attention to the fact that moral theology is part of a living tradition and in the process open ups a rich vein of wisdom and insight that can help us address many of our most pressing problems today." -- Doctrine & Life, Published in the well-known Moral Traditions series, this is an excellent book on the recent history of Catholic moral theology in the United States. . . . This is a highly readable account, written by an expert, and is suitable for undergraduates and the general reader., "The book is a wonderful gift to the church that could come only from one so deeply involved in the very development of the field as both a careful observer of events but also as one of the most significant moral theologians of our time." -- Conscience, "Curran covers a tremendous amount of ground in these chapters, over complex and controversial territory...[H]e is to be given high marks for the way he summarizes carefully and fairly the theological arguments with which he has disagreed...I am grateful for Curran's scholarly work in this book. As a 'participant observer,' Charles Curran has chronicled history fairly and clearly -- no small accomplishment for someone whose own voice has been such an important part of the story." -- America, "The most ambitious chronicle we have of the development of moral theology in the United States. [Curran] shows that many of the questions we are asking today uncover the tensions within earlier views?This book brings one up to speed on who has shaped this discipline, what have been its major concerns, and why we are facing the issues we do today." -- Richard M. Gula "SS, Franciscan School of Theology/Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley, CA", The thematic chapters provide a literature review that is striking both for its compendious range and for its commitment to fairness . . . Curran's text provides a much-needed framework for analyzing the past and tracing the trajectories of U.S. Catholic ethical reflection. This account of the discipline's development will serve as a standard resource for both theological education and historical research., This volume deserves serious consideration for any student of theology because it is threaded through with thought-provoking comments . . .
