This book is the first in a series of planned volumes focused on preserving the character of the development of bioethics in particular cultural contexts. As the first of these volumes, Leo Pessini, Christian de Paul de Barchifontaine, and Fernando Lolas Stepke’s work has succeeded well. It has brought together accounts by sch- ars who were crucial to the emergence of bioethics in the Ibero-American cultural domain. This trail-blazing work in the history of bioethics will be of enduring s- nificance. I am deeply in their debt for having shouldered this far from easy task. Bioethics is the product of very particular socio-historical developments. Most prominent among them have been (1) the ...
A Call to Fidelity seeks to thoughtfully examine and critically evaluate the contributions that Charles E. Curran has made to the field of Catholic moral theology over the past forty years. It also seeks to assess the development of specific topics in contemporary moral theology to which Curran has made his unique mark, particularly in fundamental ethics, sexual and medical ethics, social and political ethics, and topics related to dialogue with other traditions and approaches to Catholic ethics. Reviewing the many years of his influential writings, thought, and scholarship, fourteen distinguished scholars examine his contributions and the current state of the topics under discussion-which are as far ranging as academic freedom, birth control, gay and lesbian relationships, and feminism. Each contributor also provides a critical evaluation of Curran's work and outlines how these areas will hold or undergo transformation as the church looks toward its relationship with society and culture in the coming decades.
The 'Spiritual Exercises' of Ignatius Loyola, composed in the 16th century, consist of a sequence of meditations on the life of Jesus aimed at promoting spiritual depth and discernment about how to live. In this work, Haight has set out to open this classic work to an audience encompassing all spiritual seekers.
Dealing with such issues as globalization, gender and AIDS, these essays by moral theologians demonstrate the creativity, dynamism and diversity of the Catholic moral tradition as it procedes from local cultures, opens itself to cross-cultural conversations, and progresses in a spirit of mercy and care.
Este volumen titulado "Hacer teología frente al abuso sexual" surge como resultado de un "laboratorio teológico" promovido por el Centro para la Protección Infantil y la Ética Teológica Católica en la Iglesia Mundial (CTEWC). Los participantes, a causa de la pandemia del COVID-19, durante dos años tuvieron que reunirse de manera remota en "mesas virtuales". Tras estos encuentros, veintiséis académicos compartieron sus reflexiones acerca de dicha problemática y sus posibles abordajes. La publicación de esta obra supone cierta urgencia, una urgencia que a menudo no se encuentra en otro tipo de trabajos teológicos o ética teológica. La extensión del daño a la dignidad humana cau...
Los temas de los capAtulos no evaden los diferentes momentos por los que el lector debe pasar a dar razA3n de su fe, como son: el sentido de vida, el pecado, los valores, el matrimonio, el sufrimiento, la esperanza, el celibato, la felicidad. Todo dentro del plan de Dios, su Reino, su presencia, la oraciA3n, la comunidad y en general la espiritualidad cristiana, para llegar hasta el SeA+-or de la vida y de la muerte. Todo esto para terminar como mismo bien lo dice que "Dios es el Ser Creador del Universo, de ti y de mi, de todos nosotros que, al ser puro amor decidiA3 verter lo mejor de su poder creativo en un universo y entregA!rnoslo para que mediante esta vida podamos llegar a realizar todas nuestras esperanzas y finalmente reunirnos todos por siempre en su presencia". Available also in English
The chapters build on different stages that the reader must go through to give reason to one's faith, such as: the meaning of life, sin, values, suffering, hope, marriage, celibacy, happiness; all within God's plan, kingdom, presence, prayer, community, and Christian spirituality in general, to meet the Lord of life and death. As Pete writes, "God is being, Creator of the universe, you, me, and all of us, who in pure love decided to pour the best of his creative energy in the universe by giving us life so that through life we can reach all our hopes and finally meet forever in his presence."
