Writing the Way by Russell Shaw

I've really enjoyed reading The Way but it felt like it was just a collection of 'sayings'. This book gives it some much-needed background and cohesion.

Fulfilment in Christ: Summary of Christian Moral Principles by Germain Grisez

A popularisation of the first volume of Grisez's three volume, The Way of the Lord Jesus. Grisez is probably the foremost traditional Roman Catholic ethicist today and although very much a particular view this book will orient well to conceptual issues. The larger and longer book which this summarizes is available online. There is a helpful introduction to conscience in Chpt 3 and to natural law at pp 38-85.
