* Advance Praise and Reviews *
"Highly recommended as one of the superior foundational textbooks on the market today. Salzman and Lawler provide a remarkably balanced and accessible presentation of the Wesleyan quadrilateral—integrating scripture, tradition, reason, and human experience." — Catholic Books Review
"A masterfully written text that brilliantly bridges the gap between dry ethical methodology and contemporary student culture. Its applications seamlessly navigate everything from modern economics and ecology to the complexities of today's relationships and hookup culture." — Horizons Journal
"A compelling, nuanced, and methodologically thorough volume. It is highly recommended for graduate classrooms, seminary courses, and mature undergraduates looking to engage in rigorous theological dialogue."— Cambridge Core Reviews
Renowned ethicists Salzman and Lawler build upon their own synthesis of virtue and theological ethics to provide a foundational text for undergraduate courses in theological ethics. Drawing from sources including Catholic social teaching and the insights of past and present Catholic theologians, this award-winning team introduces and then applies their ethical method to such topics as ecology, economics, hookup culture, and liberation theology.
Todd A. Salzman is professor of Catholic theology at Creighton University. He is co-author (with Michael Lawler) of numerous books, including Virtue and Theological Ethics: Toward a Renewed Ethical Method (Orbis) and Sexual Ethics: A Theological Introduction.
Michael G. Lawler is dean emeritus of Creighton University graduate school of arts and sciences and emeritus professor of Catholic theology at Creighton.
