It aims to treat its subject matter in accord with Catholic doctrine as it has been developed by the Second Vatican Council and recent papal teaching\" (xi).The moral theology that developed after the Council of Trent and persisted until very recently concentrated on clarifying for individual Catholics the outer limits: mortal sin and its avoidance. Vatican II called for a renewed moral theology that would deal more adequately with affirmative responsibilities. While Scripture  tradition  and Church teaching  taken together  contain everything Catholics need to shape their lives  the wealth of material must be gathered up and synthesized.  Living a Christian Life is the second of Grisezs four-volume series  under the general title The Way of the Lord Jesus  responding to Vatican IIs call for renewal and attempting the necessary synthesis. Whereas Volume I  Christian Moral Principles  treated the foundations of Christian morality  Living a Christian Life deals with the specific questions that concern all or most Catholics.  In Living a Christian Life  many more affirmative responsibilities than negative ones are examined  and Grisez never neglects the communal character of Christian life. He treats all the specific moral norms that are now being questioned. The Churchs teaching not only is presented accurately but explained  so that its truth is clarified in the light of Gospel values and a profoundly Christian humanism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964734074933,"sku":"ByrdShop_0819909610","price":226.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780819909619.jpg?v=1770477422","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-way-of-the-lord-jesus-volume-2-living-a-christian-life","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
