Moral Theology: SF-TA203
Moral theology or Christian ethics is a response to God’s call for humans to live abundantly. Consequently, it explores questions about how we should behave in order to enter into the wholeness God desires for us. This course will explore how we go about loving properly when confronted with issues such as immigration, climate change, political tribalism, poverty, sexual and ethnic identities, and violence? What theoretical principles and practical strategies can Christians call upon? And on what are they based? Moral theology, a branch of systematic theology, addresses itself to these sorts of questions by offering suggestions on how to “Christianize” personal and social behavior through reflection on revelation, tradition, human nature, reason, and grace.
