Description
Handbook of Moral Theology
by Fr. Dominic M. Prümmer, O.P.
Excerpt from the publisher: “For those seeking answers to Catholic moral questions: ‘Look it up in Prümmer!’
First published in 1921, Fr. Prümmer’s Handbook of Moral Theology was immediately regarded as an international classic. The author’s clarity of vision, precision of expression, and humble fidelity to the traditional Catholic moral framework during a period of social upheaval and increasing doctrinal deviation made his manual the standard reference text for generations of clergy, seminarians, and laity.
At long last, this Centenary Edition of Fr. Prümmer’s Handbook of Moral Theology faithfully recovers the original English translation of 1956, with fresh typography and header styles to make Fr. Prümmer’s original text much easier to navigate and more pleasant to read. Images from earlier manuscripts have been entirely restored, and the scattered in-text references have been relocated to orderly footnotes.
The many annotation errors that plagued earlier editions have been painstakingly corrected, and scores of additional citations have been included from Aquinas’ Summa Theologiae, Denzinger’s Enchiridion, and Pius V’s Roman Catechism — three of the author’s favorite sources. The topical index has likewise been expanded, to include technical moral terms of more recent use (such as “double effect”) and allow for more rapid contemporary reference.”
