A primer on disability ethics from a Catholic perspective offers
practical strategies for inclusion Persons with disability make up
at least 15 percent of the global population, yet disability is
widely unacknowledged and unexplored in theology. Moreover, many
people join this minority community in their lifetimes through
compromises to their health due to aging or accident. However, too
few people without immediate experience of persons with disability
remain unconcerned with this largest and most diverse minority of
people across the globe. Disability Ethics and Preferential Justice
is a response to a dearth of theo-ethical reflection on disability,
arguing that justice requires a preferential safeguard for persons
and communities of people with disability. Mary Jo Iozzio
introduces the basics of disability realities and etiquette for
those who have not recognized their absence in common human
activities. She uses reflection on the image of God as a foundation
for a theological lens within disability ethics and exposes
personal and systemic forms of control that able-bodied people
(knowingly or not) exercise to maintain power over people with
disability. She offers strategies based on Catholic social teaching
to inspire deliberate action with an increasingly inclusive and
participatory Church and society. Iozzio invites readers to think
about their responses to matters of disability inclusion across the
common spaces to which all of us should have access. She challenges
secular spaces as well as the Church's response to persons with
disability concerning especially structural accessibility to
worship, the sacraments, and community.

Sex and Gender: Christian Ethical Reflections contains some of the
subject's most important analyses in recent decades. The collection
covers a wide range of topics: same-sex marriage, sexual minorities
and biblical interpretation, sex and power, sexual harassment and
sexual abuse, HIV/AIDS and prevention strategy, the military and
masculinities, mobile porn and sexting, human trafficking, moral
discernment, and more. Contributors represent various theological
traditions and draw on scriptural texts as well as such disciplines
as philosophy, sociology, psychology, and the life sciences. Each
essay is followed by a set of discussion questions-for the
classroom or for students to use as an assignment outline-and
suggestions for further reading and research. Teachers and students
of Christian ethics will appreciate this multidisciplinary approach
to one of the most divisive and controversial issues in
contemporary culture.
Roman Catholic women theologians from all over the world discuss
the HIV/AIDS pandemic in terms of their particular geographical and
social location.It's common knowledge that in developing countries
- Africa, India, Southeast Asia, Africa, Latin America - the burden
of HIV/AIDS falls disproportionately on women, who are generally
the victims of male carriers of the disease. In this book, Roman
Catholic women theologians from all over the world will discuss the
pandemic in terms of their particular geographical and social
location. The model for the volume is Continuum's "Catholic
Ethicists on HIV/AIDS Prevention" (2000), edited by James Keenan,
S.J. The occasion or impetus for the volume was the First
International Crosscultural Conference for Catholic Theological
Ethicists, single-handedly created by James Keenan (he raised 3/4
of a million dollars) and held at Padua, July 2006. (The plenary
sessions will be published by Continuum under the title "Catholic
Theological Ethics in the World Church.").The mentors for the
volume will be James Keenan (editor Iozzio's Doktorvater) and
Margaret Farley, 'America's leading Catholic feminist theological
ethicist' (19 Dec. review of "Just Love in America"). Farley's
advocacy both in the US and Africa on the issue of women and AIDS
is renowned, and she will be the best-known contributor. The
leading contributor from English-speaking Europe is Linda Hogan
from Trinity College Dublin.
