Successfully and widely used in college ethics classes, this well-written text has in revision been made even clearer and more precise in its presentation as a result of extended classroom experience. Beyond The New Morality seeks to state clearly and simply a particular approach to ethics. The ethics here proposed seeks to put the concrete situation into the context of a whole person's life; it seeks to show how love requires a free response to human goods, a response generating responsibilities; it seeks to defend the person and the community of persons against theories and attitudes that would make of them mere objects, mere means.

Beyond the New Morality: The Responsibilities of Freeedom

Russell Shaw

What did Vatican II say about the laity? What role did the laity play in the early Church? What is clericalism? Is it a danger? Do lay people have vocations? How do I discern my vocation? What are some examples of lay apostolates? How can the laity evangelize the culture?
 These are some of the questions Russell Shaw answers in his latest book on the role of the laity in the Church.
RUSSELL SHAW, in this new book, clearly explains the history of the role of the laity in the Church, clericalism, and the ‘restored’ vocation of the laity as envisioned by the Fathers of the 2nd Vatican Council. Not only does he describe the mission of the laity, Mr. Shaw outlines areas where the lay apostolate is most needed and gives guidance on discerning lay and religious vocations. Mr. Shaw’s conversational style makes the book easy to read while still having perceptive analysis of the threats to the laity’s vocation.

Russell Shaw explains in this book why only through sacramental Confession can you regain harmony of soul and the grace lost by sin. He provides concise rational explanations for what many have realized through their own experience: there is no substitute for divine forgiveness. Here is an excellent book to equip you to explain and defend the Church's teaching about Confession - and a great gift to give to non-Catholics and skeptical Catholics to help them see that Confession is a necessity of any healthy spiritual life.

The year 2009 brought the 70th anniversary of the first publication of The Way by the founder of Opus Dei, who was a 37-year-old priest in Madrid when the book appeared. Since then this spiritual classic has gone into numerous translations and sold nearly 5 million copies worldwide. Read by popes, priests, mothers and fathers, students and working men and women around the world, its contents reflect the unique pastoral experiences and spiritual insights of its author, St. Josemaría Escrivá. In Writing 'The Way' Russell Shaw provides dramatic background information about the composition of this book in the difficult years before and during the civil war in Spain as well as important theological and ascetical interpretations from a variety of sources. It is a valuable help to the reader seeking to understand The Way better and apply its contents in his or her own life.
