Elements of Moral Theology: Based on the Summa Theologiæ of St. Thomas Aquinas

“Moral theology” is the science of the law of God as given to man, in whatever way it is given. “Moral philosophy” seeks to account for and develop, from reason only, the laws and principles of right living. This volume deals with moral theology, the science of the Divine Will as revealed to man. Based on the Summa Theologica by Thomas Aquinas, John J. Elmendorf’s Elements of Moral Theology covers beatitude, free will, good and evil, vice and sin, faith and hope, charity, justice and injustice, courage and fortitude, and much more.
