Pedagogy in moral theology follows some of the particular concerns Catholic theologians have had since the Second Vatican Council as well as the aftermath of John Paul II’s encyclical on moral theology, Veritatis splendor. Most of the textbooks reviewed here teach virtue, Christian practice, and Thomas Aquinas’s theology, as largely positive responses to the Council and John Paul II. Catholic moral theology thus appears as a relatively stable field, though the authors use multiple approaches. There are, however, some moral theologians offering alternative perspectives on moral theology. One book reviewed here contends with Humanae vitae and resists both Thomas Aquinas’s authoritative voice and Veritatis splendor’s argument against proportionalist thought. The textbooks offer a range of pedagogical tools for varying student levels. Two of the overall gaps in the field, as indicated by these textbooks, might be more direct engagement with Scripture, and a proper locating of Catholic social teaching within moral theology.

梵蒂冈二世和Veritatis辉煌之后：五本道德神学教科书

道德神学的教学遵循自梵蒂冈第二次大公会议以来天主教神学家们特别关注的一些问题，以及约翰保罗二世关于道德神学的通谕 Veritatis splendor 的后果。这里评论的大多数教科书都教导美德、基督教实践和托马斯·阿奎那的神学，作为对大公会议和约翰·保罗二世的积极回应。因此，尽管作者使用了多种方法，但天主教道德神学似乎是一个相对稳定的领域。然而，有些道德神学家对道德神学提出了不同的观点。这里评论的一本书与 Humanae vitae 相抗衡，并抵制 Thomas Aquinas 的权威声音和 Veritatis 辉煌反对比例主义思想的论点。教科书为不同水平的学生提供了一系列教学工具。
