ADTH 3845 Moral Theology

This course examines the content and methodology of the tradition of Catholic moral theology through biblical, historical, and contemporary sources, both religious and secular. This tradition of moral theology will be paired with resources from the Christian spiritual tradition with an eye towards personal growth for authentic lifelong conscience formation and practice. Key themes to be engaged in the course include virtue, conscience, grace and sin, personal and social ethics, moral exemplars, and the relationship between personal and Church authority in moral norms and conscience formation.
