The Virtuous Life

This book is devoted to the so-called moral virtues, especially those
moral virtues of which Christian tradition upholds that they are given
by God to the faithful. For instance patience, humility and justice.
There are not only different interpretations of these infused moral
virtues, but it also is not unambiguous in the theology of Aquinas how
these virtues are related to the virtues human beings acquire on their
own accord. What is the relationship with Scripture, how do these
virtues colour the imitation of Christ, and what do these virtues tell
about the moral life of non-Christians?






The papers contained in this volume address this theme, and were
originally presented at the fifth international conference of the
Thomas Instituut te Utrecht(Tilburg University), at Utrecht in
December 2015.
