The book-an invitation to enter into a critical dialogue with Catholic moral thinkers from all overthe world, including Europe, North and South America, Africa and Asia-exposes its readers to many dimensions of the Catholic moral discourse in various parts of the world, in particular concerning globalization; justice and environment; gender; war and peace; HIV/Aids; bioethics and social justice; sexuality and marriage. therefore serves as a challenge to moral theologians (and church leaders) in the Philippines to reflect on particular issues in the Philippine context. The book demonstrates clearly how important international dialogue is for the church where we are to addresses our own contemporary issues of moral theology.
