Designed for Good: Recovering the Idea, Language, and Practice of Virtue

In this Christian take on classical virtue ethics, Kevin J. Brown invites us to explore what it means to live the virtuous life―and why that is so important. Today the word virtue can sound legalistic or old-fashioned, but in the past it was used to describe the fullness of human excellence in accordance with God’s design. This book seeks to recapture that definition, weaving in modern-day examples from economics, politics, and pop culture to create a relevant framework that relates faith to contemporary ethical questions.

Review. His formal education spans the areas of theology, philosophy,
