Book Reviews of An Introduction to Catholic Ethics
Book Review: Great high school resource
Summary: 4 Stars
Andrew Peach and Lucien Longtin, SJ provide a succinct but rich overview of Catholic ethics for high school students. The language is accessible yet rooted in the scholarship of secular philosophy (Aristotle, Kant, Mill) and Christian morality (Magisterium, Natural Law, Scripture). Many of the examples take their cue from cultural phenomena and invite student reflection on their own experience with ethics. The only improvements I would like to see in the text would be a more in depth explanation of contemporary ethical applications and there is a section on lives of moral exemplars (Pedro Arrupe, Martin Luther King, Jr., Dorothy Day) that seems out of place and could be used to enhance an already accessible resource for high school students. The book is a rare find for secondary classrooms since much of the current literature is either intellectually limited (i.e., parish books with poor theology) or too abstract (i.e., academic theology without concrete applications).
Overall, a great starting point for the curriculum of ethics courses!
