TH 204 - Moral Law and the 10 Commandments

The course examines the Moral Law given to us in the Ten Commandments. It focuses on how we can best follow the Ten Commandments with good decision-making, as well as identifying violations to the Ten Commandments as a result of our choices. We explore moral dilemmas facing the human condition, such as life and death, personal sins, and maltreatment of others, all with a focus on what the Catholic Church teaches and stands for in relation to these issues.

Assignment Overview
  • Assignments: Varied throughout the term
  • Interactivity: Discussion Boards
