Overview
"A major contribution to shaping the complex landscape of fundamental moral theology . . . . Serious students of moral theology will not want to miss Demmer's fresh and original insights."-Richard M. Gula, S.S., Franciscan School of Theology, Graduate Theological Union"English-speaking moral theologians can now come to know Klaus Demmer, one of the most respected European, moral theologians. Demmer challenges us with an holistic approach to moral theology bringing together God and human decision-making, spiritual theology and moral theology, cross-cultural differences and Christian truth, science and life, and intellectual integrity together with a willingness to dialogue with contemporaries."-Charles E. Curran, Elizabeth Scurlock University Professor of Human Values, Southern Methodist UniversityAlthough he is one of the most influential Catholic theologians in Europe, very few of Klaus Demmer's writings are available in English. This translation of his well-known work on moral theology introduces Demmer's thought to English-speaking audiences.In an original synthesis of scholastic and continental philosophy, Demmer brings the Catholic moral tradition into conversation with contemporary philosophical schools-transcendental, hermeneutical, and analytical-to fashion a moral theology in the spirit of the Second Vatican Council. He shows the richness of the neoscholastic tradition in shaping and being shaped by our contemporary self-understanding.A complete bibliography of Demmer's works will assist readers in seeking out more of his writings. Klaus Demmer, M.S.C., author of nineteen books, is a professor at the Gregorian University of Rome. This book was originally published as Introduzione alla Teologia Morale (1993).Moral Traditions and Moral Arguments series, James F. Keenan, S.J., Series Editor
