and the World Church is a unique collection of essays dealing with the
burning issues of today--social justice, the environment, gender and
sexuality, HIV/AIDS, and bioethics. Many people talk about globalization
and its effects on life and ethics, but in this book Catholic ethicists
from five different continents address the major issues facing the church
and society in the twenty-first century. There is no other book in print
that even tries to do what this book accomplishes for Catholic ethics."-Charles
E. Curran, Southern Methodist University "This is a remarkable
collection of international and cross-cultural essays on urgent
ethical issues of today. It shows how important it is to hear voices
from around the world and, in this case, the voices of Catholic ethicists.
This book goes a long way in providing insight and wisdom not only for
moral theologians but for all the people
of the church and the world."--Margaret A. Farley, Yale Divinity School Linda Hogan is a
professor of ecumenics, a lecturer in international peace studies, and
Head of School at the Irish School of Ecumenics at Trinity College,
Dublin. She is the author of Confronting the Truth: Conscience in
the Catholic Tradition. Order at Orbis
