“D
eCosse and Heyer offer a fresh and original take on conscience, spinning this standard moral category across the horizons of social ethics in today’s global era. The international authors presented here challenge readers to appreciate the social formation of agency and ponder the meanings of personal responsibility in the strikingly different cultures of the U.S., Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa. The book as a whole represents an important advance in ethical theory, not limited to Catholicism.” —Lisa Sowle Cahill, Monan Professor of Theology, Boston College “Conscience and Catholicism brings quality, depth, and breadth to contemporary discussions of this vital issue.” —Charles E. Curran, Elizabeth Scurlock University Professor of Human Values, Southern Methodist University David E. DeCosse is the Director of Campus Ethics Programs at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University, where he is also Adjunct Associate Professor of Religious Studies.

Heyer is professor of theology at Boston College. Her books include Kinship across Borders: A Christian Ethic of Immigration and Prophetic and Public: The Social Witness of U.S. Catholicism.
