Modernity and Moral Theology

 Just as in other fields, whether of science or branches of
theology. Moral Theology has developed greatly in the modem times. 
From being a help in individuals confessions of personal sins from the
sixth century it has developed into a comprehensive field of reflection
that animates and guides almost all areas of human life today. What is
presented here is short sketch of some of the most important persons
and events that have made significant contribution to the blossoming of
moral theology today, and some of the important developments that
have taken place because of them. Since it is a herculean task and beyond
the scope of this article to speak of all who have contributed to make
moral theology what it is today, the article makes a mention of a few
moral theologians who have contributed to moral theological reflections
in India.
