Inhaltsangabe
Conscience and Prayer takes the new conversation between Christian spirituality and moral theology to a deeper level of precision and focus. The authors argue that the relationship between moral theology and spirituality can best be explored by looking at how conscience is related to prayer. In exploring this relationship, both historically and theologically, Billy and Keating open new ways to approach the fundamental aspects of Catholic moral theology.

Aus dem Klappentext
It would be difficult to identify two more foundational elements of the moral life and the spiritual life than conscience and prayer. They are the two legs with which Christians set out each day to walk with Christ on their journey to God. As scholars have attempted to understand the impact of spirituality on all areas of human existence, some have examined these two elements separately, but none has discerned the connection between the two. By making clear that connection, Keating and Billy have opened up new understandings into the nature of Catholic spiritual moral life. The authors offer a means for religious educators, preachers, spiritual directors, and parents to meet the tremendous challenges they face forming their charges in today's world. Keating and Billy also provide a succinct statement of how an integrated understanding of prayer and conscience helps Christian ethical reflection steer clear of the extremes of rationalism and fideism. Conscience and Prayer begins with a definition of the terms and examines their historical interaction. It then provides the anthropological foundations for ?reason?s spiritual rebirth? and discusses the role of prayer in Catholic moral theological reflection. Next it presents ?rapt listening? as the way prudence manifests itself in the spiritual moral lives of believers. Following this, it examines some of the key elements involved in what has typically been referred to as ?putting on the mind of Christ.? Finally, it looks at the practical implications of what listening to Christ and his body in prayer means for conscience formation. Chapters are ?The Reciprocity of Prayer and Conscience: Historical Considerations,? ?Spirit and Reason: Retrieving Lost Connections,? ?Listening, Prayer, and Conscience Formation,? ?Prayer and Conscience: Openness to the Truth in Christ,? and ?Jesus as the Norm of the Spiritual Moral Life: Some Pastoral Considerations.??. . . a good short introduction to key issues that must be developed if we are to appreciate the inseparability of morality and spirituality.? Theological Studies"In the New Testament, the spiritual and moral dimensions of experience are inseparable on the path of discipleship. 'Putting on the mind of Christ' was the core of Christian morality. This fine book describes how the two dimensions became separated historically and conceptually. More significantly, it charts how conscience brings together prayer and moral reflection. The good that believers strive for is not an ideal but the living God, whose goodness calls out to them in the specific decisions they make. The authors show how practices of prayer, 'keeping company with God,' tune the heart and mind to listen profoundly to the wisdom of the Spirit. Prayer is not a technique for decision making but the context in which conscience hears 'the still small voice' of the Lord." William C. Spohn Santa Clara University"As a new kind of fundamental theology, Conscience and Prayer makes a groundbreaking contribution to theology. An integral theology of Christian living replaces the traditional, compartmental approach to moral theology that separated it from spirituality and spirit. Prayer and conscience, faith and reason, spirituality and morality?all come together in living the Christian commitment to Christ. Profs. Billy and Keating lead readers far along the path of the transformation of moral theology called for by the Second Vatican Council." Norbert J. Rigali, S.J. University of San Diego
