Servais Pinckaers, O.P., is one of the preeminent Catholic moral
theologians of his generation. His highly acclaimed works, among
them The Sources of Christian Ethics, offer a thoroughly Thomistic
and contemporary vision of the Christian moral life. They reflect
the philosophical and spiritual prowess of a moral theologian who
is estranged neither from philosophical ethics nor from dogmatic
theology, neither from Scripture nor from spirituality.
The first collection of its kind available in any language, this
volume features the twenty most significant essays written by
Pinckaers since his highly praised Sources. The essays offer
profound reflections that are only possible by a contemporary moral
theologian who knows the thought of Aquinas from lifelong study.
Rather than taking a simply historical approach to Aquinas,
Pinckaers seeks the basis of the intelligibility of the moral life,
providing rich spiritual and theological insights along the way. He
plumbs the depths of fundamental moral theology in these essays,
where he treats Thomistic method and the renewal of moral theology,
beatitude and Christian anthropology, moral agency, and passions
and virtues, as well as law and grace. Such a detailed treatment of
key issues in fundamental moral theology and Christian
philosophical anthropology will certainly demand attention from
every theologian and advanced student interested in Aquinas and in
a virtue approach to Christian ethics.
Pinckaers's work has been an important source for the revival of
interest in virtue-oriented moral theology in recent years and will
continue to be a major source for debates over the place of
Scripture and the Holy Spirit in moraltheology.
John Berkman is Associate Professor of Moral Theology and Area
Director of Moral Theology/Ethics at The Catholic University of
America. Craig Steven Titus is Research Fellow and Lecturer in the
Department of Ethics and Moral Theology at the University of
Fribourg and Visiting Professor at the Institute for the
Psychological Sciences. The essays are translated by Sr. Mary
Thomas Noble, O.P., Craig Steven Titus, Michael Sherwin, O.P., and
Hugh Connelly.
