Church Times "A refreshingly good, scholarly, and practical collection. . . . The book raises important issues about how Christians should pursue ethical living." Midwest Book Review "Written by a group of younger scholars who are experts in theology and philosophy. . . . The authors believe that embodying Christ's values should be at the heart of Christian living, and they offer chapters headed by these virtues to discuss each and offer food for thought. Any Christian collection needs this!" Church of England Newspaper "Young Christian scholars, philosophers and theologians, look at how 11 selected virtues can be embodied in daily life. . . .
