Josef Fuchs on natural law

About this book

"Mark Graham presents the first full-length and definitive critique of Fuchs's theology. Beginning historically by looking at Fuchs's early writings and beliefs, including his defense of natural law during the "situation ethics" debates of the 1950s and 1960s, the concept of personal salvation, and the status of "nature" and "human nature," Graham moves to the intellectual conversion that inspired Fuchs to reconsider his concepts following the disillusionment of his commission appointment. From there, Graham engages in a sustained critique of Fuchs's natural law theory, addressing both the strengths and the weaknesses to be found there, and suggesting possible avenues of development that would make a positive contribution to the ongoing quest to rehabilitate the Roman Catholic natural law theory that continues to dominate the landscape of moral theology today."--Jacket.
