The philosophical revival of virtue ethics has not gone unnoticed by theologians, who have made some of the most important contributions to the ‘turn to virtue’.Largely absent, though, is a theological response to the many criticisms that have been levelled at modern virtue ethics.This book fills that gap, addressing various concerns including claims that virtue ethics is incomplete and inconsistent; that it flies in the face of psychological reality; and that it commits itself to unpalatable moral positions such as egoism, relativism and particularism.To each of these it gives a response grounded in moral and metaphysical theological commitments, often suggesting new approaches not explored by secular thinkers.In doing so it refutes the criticisms at hand and makes a positive case for a distinctively theological virtue ethics.
