Following a new preface, the text of the six chapters from the original edition remains unchanged. However, Romanus Cessario has substantially updated his notes to account for recent literature on the subject, and a new chapter that accommodates his original study to current developments in moral theology. This second edition will inspire a new generation of students and teachers.
Romanus Cessario, O.P., is a Fellow of the Pontifical Academy of Saint Thomas Aquinas and Professor of Systematic Theology at St. John’s Seminary in Brighton, Massachusetts.
