Elements of Moral Theology
Father Romanus Cessario currently serves as professor of systematic theology at St John's Seminary in Brighton, Massachusetts. After studies in philosophy and theology within the Dominican Order, he later completed his doctoral studies at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland under Colman E. O'Neill, who was a leading sacramental theologian of the immediate post-conciliar period. O'Neill's principal works, Meeting Christ in the Sacraments (Alba House, 1991) and Sacramental Realism (MidWest Theological Forum, 1998), are available in new and revised editions. Father Cessario also studied moral theology and is the author of several books and many articles in the field, including The Moral Virtues and Theological Ethics (University of Notre Dame Press, 1991), Christian Faith and the Theological Life (Catholic University of America Press, 1996), Virtue (Lit Verlag, 2001). He serves as general editor for "Catholic Moral Thought," a multi-volume series of textbooks in moral theology about to be published by The Catholic University of America Press, and as co-editor with Father Joseph Koterski of "Moral Philosophy and Moral Theology" at Fordham University Press. This course is based on Father Cessario's latest volume, Introduction to Moral Theology forthcoming at The Catholic University of America Press as the first publication in the new series.
