Happiness and the Christian Moral Life introduces students to
Christian ethics through the lens of happiness. The book suggests
that the heart of ethics is not rules and obligations but our deep
desire for happiness and fulfillment. We achieve that happiness
when we become people who love the good and seek it in everything
we do. The third edition of this reader-friendly text has been
revised and updated throughout. It introduces Christian ethics with
sensitivity towards readers who may not be Christian themselves.
After an overview of basic concepts and key thinkers such as
Augustine and Thomas Aquinas, subsequent chapters explore the
importance of narrative in Christian ethics, the place of
friendship and community in Christian moral life, the role of
virtues in our quest for fulfillment, a Christian understanding of
the person, a Christian theology of freedom, and false steps on the
path to happiness. Final chapters discuss the role of conscience
and prudence, love, and justice. The third edition has been
re-structured to better meet teaching needs by moving the
discussion of narrative earlier in the book. This edition features
fresh, global examples; revised introductions to key thinkers;
discussions of tough, contemporary topics such as hook-up culture;
careful consideration of the words of Pope Francis on themes
ranging from consumerism and freedom to love and the environment;
and more.
