The Ten Commandments: Case Studies in Catholic Morality is a single source that summarizes Catholic teaching around the Ten Commandments. Thirty case studies related to real-life issues and dilemmas addressed by each commandment make up the heart of this text. The case studies also remind students of the central importance of the Ten Commandments as a source for moral decision-making and provide contemporary ways the Commandments can be applied in their own lives. The text addresses both everyday issues of morality faced by teens, such as cheating on exams, using alcohol and drugs, sex before marriage - along with wider and new societal issues including the use of embryonic stem cells for medical research, responsibility for environmental problems, and the proper use of money.
