Review:
As we read his rigorous analysis and observe his devotion to Mary, we see that C. himself is demonstrating the virtues of knowledge and piety in his theological reflection Theological Studies--G. Simon Harak "Theological Studies " "A distinguished contribution to an international series of 'handbooks of Catholic theology, ' this one by a Dominican teaching at St. John's Seminary in Boston This is one handbook that theologians and moralists will want to keep at hand." -First Things "For close to fifteen years now, moral theologians have benefited from the prolific work of Fr. Romanus Cessario in the area of moral theology. While churning out first-rate books and articles at a rapid pace, his expertise as a former teacher of dogmatic theology is evident in all of his work-and the present book under review, The Virtues, or the Examined Life, is no exception [A]dd Cessarios's retrieval of the Thomistic moral tradition in The Virtues to a growing list of superb Thomistically-inspired works of moral theology in English. It will serve as a breath of fresh air for those used to a legalistic moral theology framed in categories of law obligation." -Mark S. Latkovic, Josephinum Journal of Theology "While the author of this handbook of Catholic theology addresses the virtues from a traditional perspective, the book offers very little to the contemporary debate on 'virtue, ' 'justice' and 'duty.'" Catholic Library World, December 2002 "provides a thorough introduction to Aquinas's theology of the virtues. The great achievement of the book consists in displaying how the analysis of the theological and cardinal virtues provides a richly textured, supply outline of the Christian life...Cessario successfully advances in concrete form a tradition-constituted and ecclesially normed moral theology." Matthew Levering, The Thomist, January 2003
