Sinossi

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.

Recensione

...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
