Moral Theology

Moral theology is a systematic theological treatment of Christian ethics. It is usually taught on Divinity faculties as a part of the basic curriculum.

Famous quotes containing the words moral and/or theology:

    “But, with whatever exception, it is still true that tradition characterizes the preaching of this country; that it comes out of the memory, and not out of the soul; that it aims at what is usual, and not at what is necessary and eternal; that thus historical Christianity destroys the power of preaching, by withdrawing it from the exploration of the moral nature of man; where the sublime is, where are the resources of astonishment and power.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “A theology whose god is a metaphor is wasting its time.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
