Richard A. McCormick And The Renewal Of Moral Theology

University Of Notre Dame Press
In a career that spanned the periods before, during, and after the Second Vatican Council, Richard A. McCormick, S.J. (1922-2000), was one of the major American theologians who demonstrated broad interest in Christian theological ethics and has written extensively on the issues of fundamental and special theology. When the Second Vatican Council directed that attention should be paid to the renewal of moral theology, McCormick answered that challenge. In this study Paulinus Ikechukwu Odozor, C.S.Sp., examines McCormick’s thought and work in detail and sets it against the backdrop of larger developments that have taken place within the Church and the field of moral theology.
