Enlightening discussion of Catholic sexual ethics,
By A Customer
This review is from: In Pursuit of Love: Catholic Morality and Human Sexuality (Theology and Life, Vol 18) (Paperback)
This book adequately presents all major issues in sexual ethics and provides an illuminating discussion from the perspective of Catholic moral theology. The author gives room to all positions within the broad array of Catholic moral theologians today. As opposed to the dogmatic view of some manuals still used by seminaries and confessor, the author devotes space and energy to the discussion of moral arguments behind each moral solution. This book is very helpful to any layman or priest that wants to make sense of Catholic moral teaching in sexual matters.

Excellent resource.,
By A Customer
This review is from: In Pursuit of Love: Catholic Morality and Human Sexuality (Theology and Life, Vol 18) (Paperback)
A great resource for adults, both young and old, who are concerned with faith and living morally. Honest and straight forward, Genovesi confronts sexual issues that are sometimes difficult for the average individual to accept. His combination of theological and pyschological teachings deserves appreciation. Genovesi reveals the essentials of Love and sexual morality to those who need it the most, i.e., everyone.

Outstanding look at traditional Catholic Teaching,
By MC "MC" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In Pursuit of Love: Catholic Morality and Human Sexuality (Theology and Life, Vol 18) (Paperback)
Genovisi, is as outstanding in this text as he is in the class room. Having taken his sexuality class in college, I can say that this text is absoulutely outstanding. If you want a look at the traditional teachings of the Catholic faith pertaining to sexuality and marriage buy this book, its one of a kind. I feel honored to have had him as a teacher, and honored to own a copy of this text, truly outstanding.
