"This book is about the state of moral theology today. It is written by an international team of academics, among them some of the best-known Christian ethicists in the English-speaking world. It is scholarly and authoritative, and it is unique in that it brings together in one volume, for the first time, all the main themes in fundamental and applied moral theology."--BOOK JACKET.
