How is moral theology related to pastoral theology? In this
first English translation of "Living the Truth," Klaus Demmer
answers this question by offering a complete theory of action. Its
crucial element is truthfulness, which Demmer claims is a basic
attitude that must be translated concretely into our individual
decisions. Demmer demonstrates that the demand for truthfulness
offers a critical corrective to the usual praxis whereby ethical
norms are formulated. This has significant consequences for every
area of ethical directives, including questions about celibacy and
partnerships.
Demmer moves away from the act-centered morality that dominates
the neo-Scholastic manuals of moral theology. His concern is to
show how our actions embody and carry out a more original
anthropological project. Not only does this anthropological project
condition our insights into goods and values, it provides the
criteria by which our actions are judged morally. This book will be
welcomed by all who are looking for ethical norms, and by all whose
task it is to formulate such norms.
