It is effectively a prolegomenon to virtue ethics, which, since the advent of Alasdair MacIntyre\rquote s \i After Virtue\i0 , has once again taken pride of place. But Kirk\rquote s argument also directs us towards an integrated vision of theology, where moral, ascetic and doctrinal thought coalesce within one context." Stephen Platten, in \i Theology\i0 , January 2021\par
