Fr. Z on By Man Shall His Blood Be Shed


The esteemed Fr. John Zuhlsdorf kindly calls his readers’ attention to By Man Shall His Blood Be Shed: A Catholic Defense of Capital Punishment, my new book co-written with Joseph Bessette.  Fr. Z writes:

Anything written by Edward Feser is reliable and worth time… This is a good book for the strong reader, student of Catholic moral and social teaching, seminarians and clerics.

    Speaking of typos, the Unmoved Mover part of one of the earlier chapters in The Last Superstition has a sentence that seems to need tente word "through" instead of "though" (I'm reading it on e-book so I can't find the page number). But Dr Feser can find it easily by word-search on the manuscript he has on a computer somewhere:
    "Similarly, should you see (though a hole in a fence say) a paint brush coating the fence with paint, and ask what is causing you to do so, the answer 'the brush handle' will not explain anything, since a brush handle has no independent power of movement."
