This book is divided into two sections: The Cardinal Virtues and the Good Life, and Living Virtuously in the Christian Story. It provides a solid overview of classical virtue ethics (i.e., temperance, prudence, fortitude, and justice); and theological virtues (i.e., faith, hope, and love). Professors and students alike will appreciate the chapter objectives, terms and definitions, bibliographies, and case studies on timely, thorny issues such as premarital sex and euthanasia. Readers will also note that "Introducing Moral Theology" finds a kindred spirit with Thomas Aquinas' "Summa Theologica". While written primarily to and from a Roman Catholic perspective, this text will appeal to a wide swathe of Christian academics and believers interested in virtue ethics. It includes case studies and study questions.
