Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores a radical departure in Christian ethical thought from the teachings that immediately preceded it. Whereas classical Greek philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle emphasized ideal but mostly abstract moral constructs, and Jewish thought centered on the Law and the covenant, the author posits that the arrival of Christianity initiated a completely new approach to ethics that was rooted in a concrete historical event: the life of Jesus Christ. The author argues that this new approach transformed the way in which people understood their relationship with God and with each other, and that it provided a more dynamic and effective framework for moral living. The book delves into the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love, and examines how these virtues shaped the development of Christian ethical theory. This book is a valuable contribution to the study of Christian ethics, and it offers a fresh perspective on the origins and development of moral thought within the Christian tradition. It will be of interest to scholars and students of religious studies, ethics, and history, as well as to anyone interested in the intersection of faith and morality.
