Bless and Do Not Curse - Paperback

by Israel Perez-Lopez (Author)

This book retrieves the moral theology of blessings of Thomas Aquinas for our times. It provides key theological insights for a reading of recent Catholic magisterial pronouncements. This reading avoids the hermeneutics of suspicion and adopts, in turn, a hermeneutics of reform and continuity. Its key organizational structure is a theology of the four chief virtues within which blessings must be understood: veracity, charity, religion, and prudence.
