"The way of the Lord Jesus" by Germain Grisez is an exhaustive and encyclopedic three-volume masterwork on Moral Theology. In a culture that encourages people to 'follow their conscience' in matters of moral choices, Grisez's books help immensely to develop a habit of sound moral thinking and good practical judgement. It underlines the fact that no one can develop the fine art of right moral choices without discipline and fine-tuning of one's natural ability. Moreover, it came as a brilliant response to the Council's call to renew Moral Theology. Through this phenomenal three-volume treatise, Germain Grisez renders a great service not only to the students and to teachers looking for a textbook that would be modern, practical and orthodox, but also to the Church as a whole and to bishops and priets who feel the need to update their theological formation. It is particularly useful for parents anxious about the sound formation of their children. Anyone seriously doing moral theology today must take Grisez into account. Grisez's volumes carefully explain and defend the Church's moral teaching, including her most controversial norms, in a way that is entirely free from legalism and voluntarism. His work represents the most important advance in the field of moral theology at least since the Christian humanist movement and scholastic revival of the sixteenth century. The insights, explanations, and arguments provide those called upon to follow the way of the Lord Jesus, as well as those entrusted with teaching Christ's Gospel with resources far too valuable to ignore. "The Way of the Lord Jesus" includes 1. "Christian Moral Principles (Vol. I, pages 1005); 2. "Living a Christian Life" (Vol. II, pages 974) and 3. Difficult Moral Questions (Vol. III, pages 959). These volumes, no doubt, deserve the widest possible audience all over the world.
