The collection of essays addresses key questions in this renewal, including normative methods, the relationship between natural law and Christian ethics, and the integration of philosophical insights with Christian teachings in biomedical ethics. Notable contributors include Richard M. Gula, S.S., and James F. Keenan, S.J.

Focusing on the intersection of Catholic tradition and ethics, this book delves into the methodological and anthropological advancements that shape both general and sexual ethics. It aims to foster inclusive dialogue within the Church, engaging laity, theologians, and hierarchy alike, to address pressing ethical issues, particularly in the realm of sexuality. By examining these normative implications, it seeks to enrich the conversation surrounding ethics in the contemporary Church.

The book explores the Catholic perspective on sexuality, emphasizing two core principles: the necessity of heterosexual marriage for any sexual act and the importance of keeping marital acts open to procreation. It provides a comprehensive overview of Catholic teachings on sexuality, delving into the implications and applications of these principles within the context of faith and moral living.
