In this fourteenth volume of the popular Readings in Moral Theology series, editor Charles Curran deals with the important issue of conscience. In keeping with the ethos of the series, he has gathered together the most pertinent, already published articles on conscience, from points of view ranging from progressive to conservative. To facilitate reading, understanding, and discussion, the volume unfolds in three different parts. Part One discusses general theories of conscience. Part Two centers on hierarchical church teaching on conscience and the response of conscience to authoritative hierarchical teaching. And Part Three focuses on the relationship of conscience to other important aspects--gender, moral development, self-transcendence, error, the Holy Spirit, and solidarity with victims.
