About this title

About the Author:

Stephen Happel was, at the time of his death in 2003, Dean of the School of Theology and Religious Studies at The Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C. His books include Metaphors for God's Time in Science and Religion (2002) and A Catholic Vision (co-authored with David Tracy; Fortress Press, 1984).
James J. Walter is the Austin and Ann O'Malley Professor of Bioethics and Chair of the Bioethics Institute at Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles. He is co-author of Contemporary Issues in Bioethics: A Catholic Perspective (2005) and co-editor of A Call to Fidelity: On the Moral Theology of Charles E. Curran (2002).

Review:

"Happel and Walter's contribution is in constructing a dialogue between a systematician and a moralist about common foundations for their respective disciplines. This is much needed in theology today and this book helps move the issue of cross-fertilization among theological specialties." --Kenneth Himes, Chair, Theology Department, Boston College

"The project as a whole will be of interest to serious constructive theologians of all denominations.... It is daring in its scope, and I think it will provoke many important discussions." --Robin W. Lovin, Cary M. Maguire University, Professor of Ethics, Perkins School of Theology, Dallas
