University of Notre Dame Press Vision and Virtue: Essays in Christian Ethical Reflection

Product Description Describing Hauerwas' work as Christian ethics, one can allow that phrase its full scope of meaning. It is the work of an ethician, who is thoroughly conversant with that branch of philosophy and comes to grips with its major issues. He is also firmly committed to the view that, in modifying the substantive 'ethics' with the adjective 'Christian,' one is designating a distinct reality. Review This is a work that demands to be taken seriously as a constructive proposal for how one is to do and understand Christian Ethics.--The Review of Politics About the Author Stanley Hauerwas is the Gilbert T.
