Beskrivning

The Christian life is an imitation of Christ's response to God–a religious response to God's initiative. We are called to make all responses–religion and morality–acts of adoring worship and praise. This sacramental theology is the fundamental moral theology of Bernard Häring, CSsR, whose contributions as a twentieth-century theologian have prepared the way of renewal in Catholic theology today.Part One of this book introduces Bernard Häring and his place in the history of Roman Catholic moral theology. Part Two examines the central concepts of Häring's sacramental-moral theology: responsibility, Christ as Word of God and High Priest, the human person as word and worshiper, and the sacraments as dialogue and response. In Part III the author illustrates how Häring takes a minor category–the virtue of religion–and places it at the center of moral life.Chapters under Part I: Bernard Häring and Roman Catholic Moral Theology are "Reassessing Bernard Häring's Moral Theology," and "Moral Theology and Sacramental Practice." Chapters under Part II: The Dogmatic Foundations of Häring's Sacramental-Moral Theology are "Word and Response: The Theological Foundations of the Religious-Moral Life," and "Sacraments as Word and Response." Chapters under Part III: The Christian Moral Life and the Virtue of Religion are "The Theological and Moral Virtues and the Virtue of Religion," and "The Interior and Exterior Acts of the Virtue of Religion." Chapters under the Conclusion are "Bernard Häring and Contemporary Proposals in Liturgy and Ethics: Critique and contributions."

Recensioner i media

The force of Cahalan’s arguments point a way forward . . . If prudent people were urgent to think more about how worship is a natural virtue—something necessary to our knowing our responsibilities toward each other—then we would not only have greater dialogue between ethicists and liturgists; we would also have a church committed in its worship and its ethical teachings to be a faithful witness to Christ, the lumen gentium.Worship
