Christian Ethics and the Human Person
Peter Bristow
Father Peter Bristow has done a great service in his book Christian
Ethics and the Human Person. Its overall purpose is to fill the need for a presentation
of Catholic moral thought as renewed in the second half of the twentieth century
by Vatican II, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, John Paul's encyclicals Veritatis
Splendor and Evangelium Vitae, and the personalistic theology and philosophy that
form the basis of those great encyclicals. Bristow offers readers an accurate and
comprehensive account of John Paul's moral thought. His is a most helpful volume.
This work lucidly and attractively draws together the main elements in the renewal
of Catholic ethics which has been taking place during the past thirty years. It provides
an excellent guide to the field as well as a persuasive account and defence of a
distinctive Catholic approach to morality.
