The Development of Moral Theology

Charles Curran’s The Development of Moral Theology: Five Strands offers a historical and critical analysis of key elements that distinguish Catholic moral theology, including sin, Thomistic teachings, natural law, church authority, and Vatican II. The book explores how these strands have evolved over time and considers their relevance in today's diverse and pluralistic context. Curran also advocates for a more fully theological approach to moral theology and calls for changes in the role of the papal teaching office.
