This book combines two classic CTS texts by Fr Andrew Pinsent, from our Deeper Christianity series: Faith, Hope & Love: The Theological Virtues and Prudence, Justice, Courage & Temperance: The Cardinal Virtues.

Faith, Hope & Love

What is a good human being and who is good? Has anyone ever been perfect and, if so, who? How does one grow in goodness and become perfect? What would we be like, male and female, if human nature could ever be brought to perfection? This book is an attempt to answer these questions by examining the meaning of virtue following the coming of Christ, or what one might call the ‘Christian Revolution’ of virtue ethics, particularly in regard to the theological virtues: Faith, Hope and Charity.

Prudence, Justice, Courage & Temperance

What kind of people do we need to be if we are to live up to the grace of our Baptism as children of God, able to call God, “Our Father?” Besides the theological virtues, the life of grace needs a wide range of character-forming dispositions. These dispositions are the infused moral virtues. Their principles or ‘hinges’ are the Christian cardinal virtues: prudence, justice, courage, and temperance.
