Reviews for Defending Probabilism
A valuable contribution to the library, or at least the reading list, of any Catholic moral theologian... A valuable insight into a period in the history of moral theology that is too little appreciated today... I would strongly recommend this text to every student or moral theology, but especially to candidate priest-confessors.
