The Practice of the Body of Christ' forges connections between two movements in today’s theological disciplines. The first is the so-called “apocalyptic” interpretation of Paul and the second is often called “virtue ethics.”
Colin Miller claims that a virtue ethic, or a classical account of human agency, has much to contribute to an apocalyptic reading of Paul’s letters, and finds in Romans a classical account of human action in many ways like the one philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre develops in his work, but not finally reducible to it.
Miller expounds a MacIntyrian virtue ethic through Paul via Romans that will be of interest to anyone involved in Pauline studies, philosophy of religion or theology.

...this is a book that rightly presses for more ethical and ecclesiological engagement in apocalyptic readings of Paul....the book contributes in important ways to contemporary Pauline hermeneutics. --Alexandra R. Brown, Theology, Vol 118, No. 5, 2015
Those familiar with MacIntyre will appreciate the well-developed section on his reading of Augustine, not to mention the mature deconstruction of the modern moral tradition. ... For my own part, I find him persuasive. --Michael Lakey, Modern Believing (57.2), March 2016

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. 'The Practice of the Body of Christ' begins a conversation between "apocalyptic" interpretations of the Apostle Paul and "virtue ethics" interpretations. It argues that the human actor's place in Pauline theology has long been captive to theological concerns foreign to Paul and that we can discern in Paul a classical account of human action, an account that Alasdair MacIntyre's work helps to recover. Such an account of agency helps ground an apocalyptic reading of Paul by recovering the centrality of the church and its day-to-day Christic practices, specifically, but not exclusively, the Eucharist. Miller first offers a critique of some contemporary accounts of agency in Paul in the light of MacIntyre's work. Three exegetical chapters then establish a "MacIntyrian" re-reading of central parts of the Letter to the Romans. Finally, a concluding chapter offers theological syntheses and prospects for future research. A new reading of Paul's theology through the lens of Alasdair MacIntyre's modern exposition of Aristotelian virtue ethics, revealing in Paul a classical view of human agency often neglected in post-Reformation interpretations.
