Richard A.McCormick and the Renewal of Moral Theology (Hardcover, New)

In a career that spans the periods before, during, and after the Second Vatican Council, Richard A. McCormick, one of the major American theologians of our time, has demonstrated broad interests in Christian theological ethics and has written extensively on issues of fundamental and special theology. When the Second Vatican Council directed that special attention be paid to the renewal of moral theology, McCormick answered the challenge and has continued to do so ever since. In this study Odozor examines McCormick's thought and work in detail and sets it against the backdrop of larger developments that have taken place within the Church and the field of moral theology during the past five decades. Odozor begins by establishing McCormick's contribution to the renewal of moral theology and reconstructs McCormick's theological program by situating him within various social, theological, and professional contexts. He then goes on to show whether and to what extent McCormick has been consistent and coherent in his moral theological discourse. Although Odozor contends that McCormick's achievements are not totally unambiguous - theologically as well as methodologically - he defends them as laudable nonetheless.
