Summary/Abstract: This study sightsees the complex relationship between neurobiology and theology in the context of moral decision-making, by utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, the research integrates findings from cognitive neuroscience, neuroimaging studies, and theological analysis to examine the neural pathways that lie beneath ethical judgments. Our paper also investigates the role of cognitive heritage in shaping moral reasoning and how neuroplasticity influences the development and adaptation of ethical frameworks. Theological perspectives are considered to offer deeper insights into human moral behaviour and in addition, the paper addresses the ethical implications of neurobiological research, emphasizing the importance of bridging scientific and religious perspectives. Through a synthesis of empirical data and theological discourse, this work tries to underwrite to a more comprehensive understanding of moral decision-making, offering insights that are both scientifically grounded and spiritually informed.
