This book offers a new reading of Jonathan Edwardsâ€™s virtue ethic that examines a range of qualities Edwards identifies as â€œvirtuesâ€ and considers their importance for contemporary ethics. Each of Edwardsâ€™s human virtues is â€œreceptiveâ€ in nature: humans acquire the virtues through receiving divine grace, and therefore depend utterly on Edwardsâ€™s God for virtueâ€™s acquisition. By contending that humans remain authentic moral agents even as they are unable to attain virtue apart from his Godâ€™s assistance, Edwards challenges contemporary conceptions of moral responsibility, which tend to emphasize human autonomy as a central part of accountability.
