Jim Keenan, S.J., one of the most important Catholic scholars of theological ethics in the United States, traces the revered history of moral theology from the New Testament to the present in A History of Catholic Theological Ethics. The book has garnered praise from a variety of scholars for his compelling insights in the relevance of that tradition for our own time. Drawing on his own scholarly themes of mercy, conscience and virtue, Keenan moves that history into contemporary concerns about the view from the "margins," the emergence of women's voices, and the view from the global south.
