Examination of Conscience of Moral Theology

Most of us perceive moral theology as a system of rules - lists of what is permitted and what is forbidden. But there's another approach, a far more beautiful one that a leading moral theologian invites you to embrace: morality as God's "Paternal project of love," the gift He designed to draw you into deeper union with Him.

In these pages, Fr. Wojciech Giertych, O.P., shows you that Christian morality has never been merely a set of ethics rules. It is, more broadly, an understanding of how to use your God-given talents and opportunities with maturity and charity - how to give your very best for the love of God, transcending every limitation.

Drawing on St. Thomas Aquinas, St. John Paul II, St. Therese of Lisieux, the Second Vatican Council, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Fr. Giertych maps the rich relationship between philosophical ethics, theological ethics, and moral theology. He guides you through penetrating questions that get to the core of the subject, including:

• Is it our responsibility to lean more in the direction of justice or mercy?
• Does Christian morality primarily concern sexual ethics or human liberty in general?
• Does this more integrated understanding of moral theology represent a break from tradition or a continuity?
• What is the relationship between reason and the mystery of faith

This book is not merely an academic exercise. Fr. Giertych offers a path toward genuine renewal - one rooted in Scripture, shaped by the living Tradition of the Church, and ordered toward a personal encounter with the living God.

The gentle transformation of your life begins here. See God's benevolent design for mankind with new eyes. Discover the love that lies at the heart of all morality.
