Both a Servant and Free: A Primer in Fundamental Moral Theology

by Brian Mullady

A real difficulty in moral theology is preserving a healthy respect for the law (servant aspect) while also encouraging the interior formation in love which the truth of the law seeks to inculcate (freedom aspect). Moral teaching and Catholic theology must include both. This book shows the Catholic balance which leads man to a true experience of being both a servant and free! Based on Aristotelian and Thomistic tenets. Great for seminarians, confessors, and anyone who wants a basic treatment of the fundamental principles of Catholic moral teaching. 288 p. Softcover.
