"This magnificent work has all the beauty of a late career book
written by a master who speaks about his area of expertise simply
and wisely. This is not a heavily detailed and footnoted argument.
It is a book about the virtues and passions by someone so steeped
in the thought of Aquinas that he can approach his topic creatively
and boldly, and yet still be firmly rooted in the Angelic Doctor's
thought." - Theological Studies "This was the last book written by
the respected Belgian Dominican moral theologian Servais Pinckaers
before his death in 2008will be of interest to the libraries of
major seminaries and to academic libraries with moral theology
collections." - Catholic Library World "This is an accessible
treatment of a complex subject from an undisputed master of the
field. Less a scholarly work than a profound, personal reflection
on a topic of perennial significance. Recommended." - Choice
"[Passions and Virtue] is brief, and printed in a small format.
Each short chapter is divided into smaller sections, and given a
subtitle. This means that it is read profitably in shorter
sections, interspersed with longer periods of reflection on the
content, keeping an eye on the overall thread of the bookan
important addition to the Pinckaers English-language canon. One can
hope that it will be read by a wider audience, and will serve as a
means of introducing his other works to the uninitiated, and that
his thought will become accepted as essential reading in seminaries
and places where Catholic theology is taught and studied. To this
end, the more material available in English the better." - New
