 One of the oldest ways of showing the practical realization of a call to 
 holiness is the imitation of Christ. In the past this idea, with 
 additional role models included, was also used in the moral theological 
 refection on human development and sanctifcation. However, those 
 attempts found it diffcult to defne the subject of imitation as well as 
 imitation itself. Also today, with some reservations, the idea of 
 imitation can be used for a methodical presentation of the Christian 
 vocation to holiness and of concrete ways how this vocation can be 
 realized. When taken together with the biblical category of the vocation 
 and of the gift, this idea allows to present Christian moral life in a 
 synthetic way and can be the reference point for specifc moral 
 obligations. However, when using the category of imitation in the 
 correct presentation of a call to holiness, correct terms are needed as 
 well as an understanding of the vocation as found in Revelation and in 
 particular and modern behavioural sciences. Such a presentation would 
 emphasize important features of Christian morality, especially its 
 religious, personalistic and social character, and would manifest 
 misconceptions of both extreme autonomy and extreme heteronomy.
