Walking with Faith: New Perspectives on the Sources and Shaping of Catholic Moral Life

Addresses a long-standing need to develop the faith-related dimensions of Christian moral life and explore their implications. It responds to Vatican II's exhortation that theological studies be renewed through a lively contact with the mystery of Christ and the history of salvation. Accordingly, this book examines the relationship between faith and moral life in the Scriptures and acknowledges the normative quality of the Biblical texts. It reviews the long experience of the Church, paying special attention to history, worship and intellectual currents. These dimensions of Christian life show the relationship between faith and moral life at any given time and allow the actions of one generation to have effects that extend far into the future. This book promotes an understanding of contemporary pastoral and theological issues and encourages a deep and informed approach to Christian life.
