“Virtues and Practices in the Christian Tradition is a significant resource for those who teach Christian ethics in church-related colleges and universities.” —Michael G. Cartwright, University of Indianapolis
Contributors to Virtues and Practices in the Christian Tradition use Alasdair MacIntyre’s work as a methodological guide for doing ethics in the Christian tradition. These essays are grouped in three sections: descriptions of MacIntyre’s approach to ethics as developed in After Virtue, reflections on the moral issues that come to the fore when viewing the Christian tradition from a MacIntyrean perspective, and selected essays on family, homosexuality, abortion, pacifism, feminism, business ethics, medical ethics, and economic justice.

Recenzii
“Virtues and Practices in the Christian Tradition is suitable for the educated, general reader and is recommended for those interested in the important renaissance of virtue ethics.”
“This volume of essays is refreshing and helpful for understanding the relationship between moral reasoning as a community practice . . . The editors and essayists of Virtues and Practices in the Christian Tradition provide compelling answers . . . This book is not only a helpful introduction to Alasdair MacIntyre, but extends his work by constructive and critical appropriations by Christian ethicists, theologians and philosophers.”
“A valuable teaching tool for Christian ethicists.”
