Moral Formation and the Virtuous Life

Theology

“Moral Formation and the Virtuous Life is an eloquent resource for studying early Christian moral thought and practice, which will be appreciated by students and teachers alike. It ably weaves together pastoral admonition, biblical interpretation, hymns, liturgical practice, and philosophical reflection to present a multifaceted view of the dynamic ‘communal moral vision’ at the heart of the Christian pursuit of virtue. The diversity and breadth of sources, presented with some fresh translations, make this volume an indispensable guide for all who are interested in the moral experience of early Christians.”
