Romanus Cessario, O.P., is a Fellow of the Pontifical Academy of Saint Thomas Aquinas and Professor of Systematic Theology at St. John's Seminary in Brighton, Massachusetts.

"It is the author's intention to provide a general introduction to the Christian virtues and their role in ethics for students. A moral theology based on virtues represents an important element of the tradition. The author's main source is Thomas Aquinas. . . . The author's emphasis on the imago Dei as a theological category is a good starting point." —Catholic Library World"In this second edition, Cessario presents a brief but thorough introduction to Christian virtue theory, specifically as expounded by Aquinas in his Summa Theologiae. What is new here is a consideration of recent papal teaching (John Paul II's Veritatis Splendor and Benedict XVI's Deus Caritas Est) as it relates to virtue theory. . . . The book is meant to be studied, not merely read, and so is most appropriate for graduate and advanced [students]." —Choice
