Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
This is a catechism of 100 questions and answers written by a Roman Catholic priest and with a decidedly Roman Catholic slant. The style is popular and accessible; the range of issues--from health care and sexuality through politics and peace--is extensive; and the approach is intended to reach across denominational lines. Many readers will find it a satisfying introduction, but readers seeking a critical conversation or a formal theoretical framework will have to look elsewhere. Steve Schroeder

Good summary of comtemporary moral issues.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Contemporary Christian Morality: Real Questions, Candid Responses (Paperback)
Richard Sparks presents a summary of contemporary Catholic moral theology that is both traditional and contemporary. He addresses many pressing moral issues in a way that is faithful to Catholic teaching without sounding dogmatic. He also is very ecumenical in his approach which shows the common natue of Christian Morality on most issue (with major exceptions such as birth control etc.). It is an excellent resource for anyone who wants real answers to hard questions in a user friendly format.

Contemporary Christian Morality: Real Questions, Candid Responses,

This review is from: Contemporary Christian Morality: Real Questions, Candid Responses (Paperback)
I have thoroughly enjoyed using this book for a class I am teaching. I have found the author to be a very compassionate, human man. I think if more priests taught from this book, there would be more people in the catholic church.
