Joseph J. Kotva, Jr., addresses this question in \u003ci\u003eThe Christian Case for Virtue Ethics\u003c\/i\u003e, showing that virtue theory offers an ethical framework that is highly compatible with Christian morality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKotva defines virtue ethics and demonstrates its ability to voice Christian convictions about how to live the moral life. He evaluates virtue theory in light of systematic theology and Scripture, arguing that Christian ethics could be profitably linked with neo-Aristotelian virtue ethics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEcumenical in tone, this book provides a thorough but accessible introduction to recent philosophical accounts of virtue and offers an original, explicitly Christian adaptation of these ideas. It will be of value to students and scholars of philosophy, theology, and religion, as well as to those interested in the debates surrounding virtue ethics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph J.
