À propos de cet audio
Timeless wisdom from a renowned theologian on living well
From the fairy godmother’s pumpkin coach to Herr Drosselmeyer’s nutcracker, godparents have long been associated with good gifts. But in The Character of Virtue theologian and ethicist Stanley Hauerwas offers his real-life godson something far more precious than toys or trinkets - the gift of hard-won wisdom on life and the process of maturing.
In each of 16 letters - sent on the occasion of Laurence Wells’s baptism and every year thereafter - Hauerwas contemplates a specific virtue and its meaning for a child growing year by year into the Christian faith. Writing on kindness, courage, humility, joy, and more, Hauerwas distills centuries of religious thinking and decades of self-reflection into heartfelt personal epistles that are both timely and timeless.
An introduction by Samuel Wells, Laurence’s father and Hauerwas’s friend, tells the story behind these letters and offers sage insight into what a godparent is and can be.

wonderful Introduction to Virtue Ethics
I have, since downloading this title also downloaded Nicomachian Ethics as well as After Virtue. While Aristotle is coherent, the audio book is a grind. And while After Virtue is, I'm sure excellent and we'll apprised, I required a broader exposure to philosophy to truly appreciate it and so, gave up. I have finished The Character of Virtue, and as a pastor and recent godparent (!), have found it very helpful.
