Following Christ How to Live a Moral Life

This book arises from the conviction of the author that many people look to the Church for moral leadership and answers to often-asked questions about moral living. Drawing on the documents of Vatican Council II; recent papal teachings of Pope John Paul II and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops; recent documents from the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and the major points developed in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, this text highlights the moral teachings of Jesus and the demands of his discipleship.The contents of this book are arranged from apostolic times till the present using a selection of scriptural themes that are central to the following of Christ. The book includes sections on the foundations of the moral teaching of Christ and the Church, God's love for us in Christ, and moral freedom and the dignity of moral conscience. Each chapter includes practical questions that offer an opportunity to apply the Church's teaching to some of the questions people often ask, including topics such as the value of human life, sexuality, organ transplants, drug use, money and responsible parenthood.Granted the imprimatur, this text serves as an excellent resource for use by catechists in adult and ministry formation.Lowery, Daniel L. is the author of 'Following Christ How to Live a Moral Life' with ISBN 9780892438501 and ISBN 0892438509.
