Be Good and Do Good: Thinking through Moral Theology

A basic textbook in religious ethics for today's Catholic students and young adults.
How do we understand moral theology within the context of Christian life and thought? In Be Good and Do Good, Bernard V. Brady addresses the main themes in fundamental moral theology for a novel perspective. Rather than relying solely on traditional sources such as natural law theory, abstract philosophical principles, or popular theories of the individual, he focuses on biblical stories, an emphasis on experience, and the social/relational spheres of human life. Our own sense of morality, Brady reminds us, emerges not out of a vacuum, but out of the experience and narratives of lived reality.
Ideal for the high school or college classroom, or indeed, for any reader interested in a refreshing take on moral decision-making, Be Good and Do Good reminds us that we are each called to develop and nurture our own moral identity throughout our lives.Bernard V. Brady
