Moral Theology
Jacqueline Laing
Abstrak
AbstractMoral theology is the study of how man must live in order to achieve his highest end, which is union with God. It is a species of theology, the study of things divine, and is distinct fromdogmatictheology by virtue of its focus. Whereas dogmatic theology concentrates upon doctrines and articles of faith, moral theology relates, more specifically to the actions of human beings and their relations to God. Moral theology naturally involves a discussion of ethics and the natural law, since this law is recognized also by divine revelation. It is not, however, co‐extensive with moral philosophy, since its subject matter derives generally from revelation and theological sources.
