What Happened to Sin?

Inspired by the lax view many Catholics take toward contraception despite Church doctrine, this book discusses in detail the specific question of contraception and responsible parenthood, and outlines an attractive and convincing theology of sex to counter-balance the church's appalling treatment of it through the centuries. The book is a summary of fundamental moral theology, explaining the meaning of morality, the role of the Bible, the importance of conscience, the function of law, forms of guilt. God's forgiveness, the after-life, and person-centered responsibility. It reflects the latest developments in theology, scripture studies, and the human sciences.
