Jesus and Virtue Ethics

Answering the call of the Second Vatican Council for moral theology to draw more fully on the teaching of Holy Scripture, the authors examine the virtues that both flow from the Scripture and provide a lens by which to interpret the Scripture. By remaining true to both the New Testament's emphasis on the human response to God's gracious activity in Jesus Christ and to the ethical needs and desires of Christians in the twenty-first century, the authors address key topics such as discipleship, the Sermon on the Mount, love, sin, politics, justice, sexuality, marriage, divorce, bioethics, and ecology.
