"In this fine tribute to their mentor, James Keenan's students lift up some of the most urgent problems of Catholic ethics today: living a virtuous Christian life, health care justice in a global frame, sexual ethics in a pluralistic world, gender-based violence, racism, and respect for people with disabilities. Seasoned theologians, creative new scholars, and students alike will connect with the exciting pathways for moral theology traveled in this volume." -Lisa Sowle Cahill, Monan Professor of Theology, Boston College
