Morality and Its Beyond heralds an optimistic view of humankind's moral goodness that sets the reader on a collision course with more recent theologizing about morality. It opens the way to a faith-filled journey to the very roots of Jesus' teachings on the Kingdom of God. Westley boldly summons the vision of the Second Vatican Council to urge the institutional church to reshape itself into a true witness to the Kingdom. He calls upon the institution to abandon its attitudinal posi tion and activities that suggest it replaces God as that which causes, effects and guarantees salvation.
