Doing Theology and Theological Ethics in the Face of the Abuse Crisis (Pickwick Publications, 2023) is a timely volume of essays by scholars from around the world who offer insights on the crisis itself and pathways for moving forward. Edited by Boston College Canisius Professor and Vice Provost James F. Keenan, S.J.; Hans Zollner, S.J., (Pontifical Gregorian University, Rome); and Daniel Fleming (St Vincent’s Health, Australia and School of Medicine, University of Note Dame Australia), Doing Theology and Theological Ethics in the Face of the Abuse Crisi is the fruit of a “theological laboratory” initiated by the then-Centre for Child Protection and the Catholic Theological Ethics in the World Church (CTEWC). Eventually those from the laboratory engaged those meeting for two years via “virtual tables,” (due to the COVID-19 pandemic). Scholars were asked to ponder the following questions: To what extent have we been blind to these issues? Why have our efforts in theology and theological ethics been so slow to wrestle with this crisis? How are theology and theological ethics implicated in the crisis? And how might the disciplines be constructive in responding? Richard Lennan of the BC School of Theology and Ministry is one of volume’s contributors. The book is part of the Global Theological Ethics book series, a joint venture of the Journal of Moral Theology and CTEWC that focuses on works that feature authors from around the world, draw on resources from the traditions of Catholic theological ethics, and attend to concrete issues facing the world today.
