Description
Back to Virtue explores the nature of virtue and how it differs from other forms of ethics. Peter Kreeft argues that being virtuous is not about achieving pleasure or comfort, but rather about cultivating manly strength.
The author examines the relationship between Christian virtue and modern moral dilemmas, such as abortion and nuclear armament. He also discusses the Seven Deadly Sins and their antidotes in the Beatitudes, offering guidance on discerning right from wrong in a complex world.
By synthesizing centuries of Christian wisdom, Kreeft provides a roadmap for living a virtuous life. This book offers proven guidance for navigating the challenges of modern life and finding a path that is rooted in traditional moral theology.
