JP540/640 Foundations of Christian Moral Life
 | Monsignor Livio Melina
Visiting Professor of Theology |
This course examines of the moral life in the light of human reason illumined by faith in Christ, mediated by the Scriptures, the Catholic tradition and the living Magisterium of the Church. It is concerned with the meaning of human freedom and the role of reason and of revelation in enabling human persons to come to know the truth about what they are to do if they are to be fully the beings God wills them to be. It considers the rôle of conscience and its relationship with the moral teachings of the Church; the nature of natural law and the way in which this law is "perfected" and "fulfilled" by the "law" of love; sin and vice, grace and redemption. It examines the vocation of the Christian to participate in Christ's redemptive work and to overcome evil by putting on Christ. John Paul II's Veritatis Splendor is integrated into the course.
