Description
First published in 1921, Dominic M Prümmer's Handbook of Moral Theology has remained a standard reference text for generations of clergy, seminarians, and laity. This centenary edition restores the superb English translation of 1956 in a fresh new typesetting, making the original text easier to navigate and more pleasant to read.
The edition has been carefully updated with corrections to the many citation errors that plagued earlier versions, and additional citations have been added from key sources such as Aquinas's Summa Theologiae and the Roman Catechism. A revised topical index has also been included, covering technical moral terms of more recent use.
Part 1 of the handbook explores the end of man and all aspects of human conduct, while part 2 examines the sacraments and sacramentals and their core importance to the Catholic moral life. This comprehensive guide provides answers to moral questions and offers a traditional Catholic framework for understanding ethics and human conduct.
