"Catholic Ethics in Today's World is excellent for introducing students to moral reasoning in a genuinely theological context. The authors stress the positive dimension of ethics, quickly breaking through students' stereotypes about Catholic ethics as rule-bound and constricting. The chapters on controversial issues present the reasoning behind official Catholic teaching very cogently, which sets just the right foundation for critical yet constructive dialogue in the classroom."

“The author has done a commendable job in highlighting important modern developments in Roman Catholicism. I especially found the chapters on ecumenism and interfaith dialogue helpful in my introductory courses, which are becoming more and more confessionally and even religiously diverse."

"Professor Christopher McMahon centers his ecclesiology firmly on the Paschal Mystery, and rightly so. Drawing on cutting-edge scholarship in Scripture, history, liturgy, systematics, and ethics, he provides a contemporary, ecumenically sensitive, and practical vision of the Church that will challenge students’ minds and inspire their imaginations. Called Together is a terrific textbook!"

"Michael Panicola and his colleagues have given students a good foundation for ethical choices in health care. The book deepens and broadens the concept of ethics beyond laws and regulations. It presents a thoughtful and accessible explanation of major approaches to ethical thinking. And, before treating specific issues and methods, it provides the depth of discernment to the decision-making process."

"This is a fine text: very thorough and readable. The author has a wonderful grasp of history, and conveys it with ease to students."

"Introduction to Religious Studies provided my students with a variety of perspectives on issues in the study of religion that they find important. The material was both accessible and challenging, worthy achievements for any text."

"Celia Deane-Drummond has established herself as one of the foremost amongst a new generation of scholars working in the field of Christian eco-theology. This volume provides an erudite overview and a balanced assessment of the state of the debate after three decades of heated discourse. She also provides a clear sense of direction for further reflection—with reference to the wisdom tradition. Here she weaves the Hebraic texts together with cosmic Christology, feminist views on Sophia and the pressing need for responsible decisionmaking in science and in civil society."

"[First Edition] This seems like a real winner. I'm anxious to try it with my students. The scholarship of this manuscript goes far beyond being 'sound.' What this author is sharing with her audience is the best of most recent scholarship. And it is explained with such clarity. . . In a very few words, the author gives students access to the ancient near eastern world and the world of the Bible. . . It will help students to understand what they are reading in the Bible (but they will still have to and want to read the Bible)."

"Sr. Marielle Frigge's book is an excellent introduction to the study of the Bible. She presupposes nothing, but conveys a great deal. No matter what the students' backgrounds, this introductory text will speak to them all. The glossaries, maps, charts, and other visuals are very helpful. Students and readers who work through her book will have a solid foundation in modern biblical studies."
