Description
In Paul and Virtue Ethics, Daniel Harrington and James Keenan build upon their successful collaboration Jesus and Virtue Ethics to discuss the apostle Paul's teachings as a guide to interpret theology and ethics today.
Examining Paul's writings, the authors investigate what they teach about the basic questions of virtue ethics: Who am I?
Who do I want to become? And how do I get there? Their intent is not to provide stringent rules, but to awaken discovery and encourage dialogue.
The book first considers the concept of virtue ethics, an approach to ethics that emphasizes moral character, and Paul's ethics in particular.
Next, the authors focus on the virtues of faith, love/charity, and hope as treated by Paul and Thomas Aquinas.
Closing the book with reflections on the roles of other virtues (and vices) in individual and communal Christian life, the authors discuss various issues in social ethics and sexual morality as they are dealt with in Paul and in Christian virtue ethics today.
