Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the place of conscience within religious life, as a means to understanding the development of ethic. The author first considers the origin of conscience's role in human nature: What gave rise to its beliefs, judgments, and directives? Religion is a key factor in the ongoing development of conscience's impulses. The author demonstrates that the modern idea of universal human dignity, though challenging to the absolutism of some religious traditions, has its roots in the Judaeo-Christian tradition, specifically the influence of Christianity. The author investigates the significance of conscience in the development of Christianity, arguing that Jesus's teaching shifted the emphasis in ethics from laws to love and unity, and that the Christian doctrine of human nature as created in the image and likeness of God has shaped the evolution of conscience. Further, the author explores ethics as a realm of human freedom in which we realize our God-given destiny, and conscience as the inner voice that guides our moral choices. The author concludes that conscience is a complex phenomenon, whose existence is a testament to our innate moral nature. The author's work is a valuable contribution to the study of the intersection of religion and ethics.
