Conscience and Calling: Ethical Reflections on Catholic Women's Church Vocations

This volume probes the meaning and ethical implications of the powerful symbol of vocation from the vantage of contemporary Catholic women, with particular attention to the experiences of religious women. Intended as a follow-up to Liberating Conscience: Feminist Explorations in Catholic Moral Theology, the new book will benefit many readers, including Catholic leaders, laity, and religious, as well as persons interested in Christian ethics and American religious history more generally. The work combines new research and writing with some previously published essay, which are scatted in sources that make them inaccessible to most readers today.
