"Robert Roberts's new work is a gem that gives a beautifully clear and profound account of ethical virtues, understood from a Christian perspective. Many secular forms of 'virtue ethics' offer a kind of reductive theory that makes the virtues the basis for all of ethics. Roberts avoids this kind of trap by developing a view that is biblical, giving insightful analyses of the virtues as qualities God desires humans to have. However, he also considers such issues as the relation between the Christian virtues and God's law. This book is full of practical wisdom. It will be helpful to students but appreciated by scholars as well."
--C. Stephen Evans, university professor emeritus of philosophy and humanities, Baylor University

"Written by one of the world's leading Christian philosophers, Virtue Ethics in Christian Perspective is an accessible and edifying introduction to virtue ethics understood as a field study and exercise in personal formation. Its carefully drawn and richly illustrated sketches of Christian virtues are inspiring and illuminating. It is proof positive of the ancient idea that reflecting on the good can make us better and wiser as human beings."
--Jason Baehr, professor of philosophy, Loyola Marymount University

"In this short, accessible book Roberts brilliantly illuminates the Christian virtues that fit us for life in God's order of peace. Communicated with wisdom and clarity, Roberts' rich insights will inspire readers to grow morally and spiritually as they deepen their own joyful understanding of the virtues that form the heart of the Christian life. This is Christian ethics--and virtue ethics--at its very best."
