Return to the Source of Morals. A Challenge to Restore Contemporary Moral Theology in Theological Thinking of Servais Pinckaers OP

Abstract

The aim of this study is a brief presentation of Servais Pinckaers, his personality and work (* 1925, a lecturer of moral theology at the University of Fribourg) as well as an appraisal of two challenges to the restoration of contemporary moral theology. The first is biblical and spiritual renewal of moral theology (return to the Scripture as a source of moral theology).

The second is happiness and good life as the central constitutive element of Christian morals.
