"Atonement by the Resurrection" shows that the resurrection of Christ was a causal factor counteracting sin and its consequences, thereby producing the reconcilliation of humanity with God. It was not simply a sign that it had been achieved. Thus is was an event which was complimentary to the Crucifixion in its consequences. The present book attempts to recitfy that inbalance, by offering an orignal account, of the much neglected role of the Resurrection, as one of the causes of humanity's salvation. It must not be regarded simply as a sign of its successful accomplishment.

This title was first published in 2002. Misguided Morality presents a survey of how the Catholic moral programme has failed to make a decisive impact on the behaviour of the Church's members. Despite a cogent theology of human conduct, the author argues that its effectiveness is not impressive. This book analyses what has gone wrong in the transmission of the New Testament ideals. The book covers the whole field of morality, starting with the bible and tracing the historical and sociological factors which have effected the dilution of those ideals, frequently to the level of anodyne respectability. Having explored the causes of failure, the author offers positive suggestions for improvement in each area where shortcomings have been revealed. Combining loyalty to the Roman Catholic Church, with constructive criticism of shortcomings in implementing moral policies, this book is essential reading to those studying and participating in Catholic moral teaching in the contemporary church. The author is well known for his books on the challenges to the Church after Vatican II, including his books Mission or Maintenance, and Whatever Happened to Vatican II.
