Contraception: A History of Its Treatment by the Catholic Theologians and Canonists - John T... Book

Very good book on the histroy of Contraception, as seen through the eyes of the canon law of the Catholic Church. This version of the book was published just before Humane Vitae (and just before the completion of the 2nd Vatican Council), and so it does not include a discussion of that controling encyclical (though it does discuss Casti connubii) nor of the Council's comment on contraception. The book ends with an anticipation of doctrinal development on the issue, ancipitaion which seems to have been "in the air" in those days. It would be interesting to read his updated edition to find out what his take is on the subsequent developments. His treatment is fair (for the most part) and historical.
