Gospel Virtues: Practicing Faith, Hope & Love in Uncertain Times

Jonathan R. Wilson

InterVarsity Press, 1998 - Family & Relationships - 214 pages

Virtues are in, but the work of Bill Bennett and others says little about specifically Christian virtues. Jonathan Wilson now recounts the recent rise of virtue ethics and provides a compelling Christian account and justification of them.

Wilson engages such key figures as Alasdair MacIntyre and Stanley Hauerwas. Focusing especially on the "theological virtues" of faith, hope and love, he not only sets forth a closely reasoned intellectual argument but suggests how an embrace of virtue ethics might change the nitty-gritty practice of the church's education, worship and hospitality.

Accessible, informed and faithful, Gospel Virtues is important reading for all who care about issues of character and community.
