Morality and the Mystical Body (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781436698344)

Morality And The Mystical Body is a philosophical and theological work by Emile Mersch, a Belgian Jesuit priest and philosopher. The book explores the relationship between morality and the mystical body of Christ, which is the concept that all Christians are united in a spiritual way through their faith in Jesus Christ. Mersch argues that morality is not simply a set of rules or principles, but rather a way of living in harmony with the mystical body of Christ. He examines the nature of this mystical body and its role in Christian life, as well as the implications of this concept for moral decision-making and the pursuit of virtue.Throughout the book, Mersch draws on a wide range of philosophical and theological sources, including the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas and the teachings of the Catholic Church. He also engages with contemporary debates in ethics and moral philosophy, offering a unique perspective on the relationship between faith and moral reasoning.Overall, Morality And The Mystical Body is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the intersection between morality and spirituality in the Christian tradition. It will be of interest to theologians, philosophers, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the relationship between faith and ethics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
