Jesuits Daniel Harrington and James Keenan have successfully
team-taught the content of this landmark study to the delight of
students for years. In this book they take the fruits of their own
experiences as theologians, writers, teachers, mentors, and friends
to propose virtue ethics as a bridge between the fields of New
Testament Studies and Moral Theology. Answering the call of the
Second Vatican Council for moral theology to "draw more fully on
the teaching of Holy Scripture," the authors examine the virtues
that both flow from Scripture and provide a lens by which to
interpret Scripture. By remaining true to both the New Testament's
emphasis on the human response to God's gracious activity in Jesus
Christ and to the ethical needs and desires of Christians in the
twenty-first century, the authors address key topics such as
discipleship, the Sermon on the Mount, love, sin, politics,
justice, sexuality, marriage, divorce, bioethics, and ecology.
Covering the entire sweep of ethical teaching from its foundations
in Scripture and especially in Jesus' life, death, and resurrection
to its goal or "end" with the full coming of God's kingdom, the
authors invite readers more deeply into an appreciation of the
central biblical themes and how, based on the themes, Catholic
Christian moral theology bears on general ethical issues in
culture. Complete with reflection questions and suggestions for
further reading, this book is essential reading for professors,
students, pastors, preachers, and interested Catholics.
