Servais Pinckaers, O.P., is one of the preeminent Catholic moral theologians of his generation. His highly acclaimed works, among them The Sources of Christian Ethics, offer a thoroughly Thomistic and contemporary vision of the Christian moral life. They reflect the philosophical and spiritual prowess of a moral theologian who is estranged neither from philosophical ethics nor from dogmatic theology, neither from Scripture nor from spirituality. The first collection of its kind available in any language, this volume features the twenty most significant essays written by Pinckaers since his highly praised Sources. The essays offer profound reflections that are only possible by a contemporary moral theologian who knows the thought of Aquinas from lifelong study. Rather than taking a simply historical approach to Aquinas, Pinckaers seeks the basis of the intelligibility of the moral life, providing rich spiritual and theological insights along the way.

Pedagogy in moral theology follows some of the particular concerns Catholic theologians have had since the Second Vatican Council as well as the aftermath of John Paul II’s encyclical on moral theology, Veritatis splendor. Most of the textbooks reviewed here teach virtue, Christian practice, and Thomas Aquinas’s theology, as largely positive responses to the Council and John Paul II. Catholic moral theology thus appears as a relatively stable field, though the authors use multiple approaches. There are, however, some moral theologians offering alternative perspectives on moral theology. One book reviewed here contends with Humanae vitae and resists both Thomas Aquinas’s authoritative voice and Veritatis splendor’s argument against proportionalist thought. The textbooks offer a range of pedagogical tools for varying student levels. Two of the overall gaps in the field, as indicated by these textbooks, might be more direct engagement with Scripture, and a proper locating of Catholic s...
Undergraduate Catholic philosophy dissertation that forges a synthesis between Peter Julian Eymard and Bernard Lonergan in the dynamics of self-appropriation and the surrender of self in the Christian life.

Preface to Logos: A Journal of Catholic Thought and Culture 24:3 (Fall 2021): 5-20. In this article I identify what exactly Catholics mean and what they ought to mean when they refer to the "Catholic intellectual tradition." I propose that any serious use of this term should not simply be a set of abstractions but thought that takes into account the actual doctrinal content of the Catholic tradition as well as a particular style.
For more than fifty years, Fr. Matthew L. Lamb has been one of the major figures in American Catholic theology through his writing, teaching, and involvement in scholarly societies. Over a decade ago, Fr. Lamb moved from the Department of Theology at Boston College to develop the graduate programs in theology at Ave Maria University in response to what he identified as the widespread decline in theological education. Twelve years into their operation, the graduate programs in theology have begun to produce junior scholars who have attained appointments in universities and seminaries across the United States. In Wisdom and the Renewal of Catholic Theology, Thomas P. Harmon and Roger W. Nutt have brought together some of this first generation of Ave Maria graduates to produce a collection of essays to honor their teacher and the architect of their theological education.
Logos 19:3 (Summer 2016): 5-14. In the preface to this issue, I discuss Fr. Robert Spitzer's suggestion that two of the crying needs in Catholic intellectual life are 1) general apologetics treating of the existence of God, the problem of evil, suffering, etc., and 2) treatments the relationship of science to religion. I then survey two recent works doing just these things: Michael W. Rota's Taking Pascal's Wager (Intervarsity Press) and Philip Rolnick's Origins (Baylor University Press). I also give brief summary introductions to the articles in this issue of the quarterly on figures such as Wallace Stevens, Richard Wilbur, Joseph Ratzinger, Juergen Habermas, and Marcello Pera on public reason and religion, Henri de Lubac on Origen, teaching classical literature, liberal education, and Henri-Irenee Marrou's theological view of history, and a defense of religious authority.
