[.ca] Virtues for Ordinary Christians (ISBN 1556129084)

virtue:
At a time when principles animate so much moral talk in professional life, Virtues for Ordinary Christians offers virtue as the starting point for doing moral reflection and for giving moral advice. When most ethicists are suggesting that the primary ethical question for today is "What should I do?," Keenan asks, "Who should I be?" Taking familiar patterns from ordinary life family, schools, parishes, business Keenan weaves one virture after another through the fabric of human existence. Along the way he offers not only the traditional virtues charity, justice, temperance, courage, fortitude but also some new ones: fidelity, self-esteem, hospitality gratitude and truthfulness.
