New Directions in Moral Theology

What does it mean to be a Christian in this day and age? How does this affect the way we relate to one another? In the face of so many different moral views, Kevin Kelly affirms the common ground behind them: the dignity of the human person. He looks at the relationship between experience and the development of morality, and highlights women's indispensable contribution. He also examines the place for morality in the Church's teaching. Presenting the issues in non-technical language understandable by lay people, it looks at the problems of how good people disagree about moral questions and explores the common ground between their differences and offers a commentary and critique on the Vatican statement on the vote of the moral of theologian in the Church.
