Title
Virtue Ethics and Protestant Discontent: A Brief Outline

David B. Hunsicker


Abstract (from the Editorial of BET vol. 9.2)

David Hunsicker reflects on the emergence in the twentieth century of virtue ethics through the writings of MacIntyre and Hauerwas, explores the concerns Protestant theologians have historically expressed regarding the concept, and argues that rethink- ing the role of catechesis in the life of the church might be the answer to the question of what it means to truly love God and neighbor.
