Over the past fifty years Irish theologians and philosophers have made a considerable contribution to the study of moral issues. Some of this work has not been readily available to the general reader. Now two of Ireland's most respected theological thinkers have collated some of the most significant and formative of these articles in An Irish Reader in Moral Theology.' Second of a series, this volume Sex, Marriage and the Family is divided into nine sections: Sexuality, Marriage, Family, Divorce and Remarriage, Inter-Church Marriage, Admission to Sacraments of those in Unofficial Unions, Homosexuality, Sexual Abuse, Celibacy and Single Life. This series is essential reading for anyone who wishes to engage intelligently in a discussion of the many controversial issues that are matters of public debate today. It will also be an invaluable resource for present-day students of theology.
