This introduction provides a comprehensive overview of the
development of Catholic ethics in the wake of the Second Vatican
Council (1962-5), an event widely considered crucial to the
reconciliation of the Catholic Church and the modern world. Andrew
Kim investigates Catholic responses to questions of moral theology
in all four principal areas: Catholic social teaching, natural law,
virtue ethics, and bioethics. In addition to discussing
contemporary controversies surrounding abortion, contraception,
labor rights, exploitation of the poor, and just war theory, he
explores the historical sources of the Catholic worldview.
Beginning with the moral vision revealed through the person of
Jesus Christ and continuing with elaborations on this vision from
figures such as Augustine and Aquinas, this volume elucidates the
continuity of the Catholic moral tradition. Its balance of
complexity and accessibility makes it an ideal resource for both
students of theology and general readers.
