A moral theology based on virtues represents an important element of the tradition. The author's main source is Thomas Aquinas. . . . The author's emphasis on the \u003ci\u003eimago Dei\u003c\/i\u003e as a theological category is a good starting point.\" —\u003ci\u003eCatholic Library World\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"In this second edition, Cessario presents a brief but thorough introduction to Christian virtue theory, specifically as expounded by Aquinas in his \u003ci\u003eSumma Theologiae\u003c\/i\u003e. What is new here is a consideration of recent papal teaching (John Paul II's \u003ci\u003eVeritatis Splendor\u003c\/i\u003e and Benedict XVI's \u003ci\u003eDeus Caritas Est\u003c\/i\u003e) as it relates to virtue theory. . . . The book is meant to be studied, not merely read, and so is most appropriate for graduate and advanced [students].\" —\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince it was first published in 1991, \u003ci\u003eThe Moral Virtues and Theological Ethics\u003c\/i\u003e has received praise from a wide range of commentators, both Catholic and Protestant. This second edition includes discussion of works that have appeared since the early 1990s, especially the first papal document to address fundamental questions of moral theology, \u003ci\u003eVeritatis Splendor\u003c\/i\u003e. Those who already have adopted the book for classroom use will welcome this new edition, while those who have just been introduced to it will find an authoritative account of the status that virtue-centered theological ethics enjoys today.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Following a new preface, the text of the six chapters from the original edition remains unchanged. However, Romanus Cessario has substantially updated his notes to account for recent literature on the subject, and a new chapter that accommodates his original study to current developments in moral theology. This second edition will inspire a new generation of students and teachers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Notre Dame Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52652657475864,"sku":"9780268022976","price":21.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-moral-virtues-and-theological-ethics-second-edition-paperback-softback-9780268022976","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
